Is Your Memory Online？ If you are trying to find out who invented the microscope，do you ask a friend，go to the library，or look it up online？These days，most people will look it up online with a quick Internet search. "Just Google it"，people say，using the name of the popular Internet search engine.As Internet users become more dependent on the Internet to store information，are people remembering less？If you know your computer will save information，why store it in your own personal memory？Experts are wondering if the Internet is changing what we remember and how.
    In recent study，psychologist Betsy Sparrow of Columbia University conducted some experiments.She and her team wanted to know how the Internet is changing memory.In the first experiment，they gave people 40 unimportant facts to type into a computer.The first group of people understood that the computer would save the information.The second group understood that the computer would not save it.Later，the second group remembered the information better.People in the first group knew they could find the information again，so they did not try to remember it.
    In the second experiment，the researchers gave people facts to remember.In addition，the researchers told them where to find the information on the computer.The information was in a specific computer folder.Surprisingly，people later remembered the folder location better than the facts.When people use the Internet，they do not remember the information.Rather they remember how to find it.
    This is called "transactive memory".We remember where to find the information，but we don't remember the information.Before the Internet，we used transactive memory to remember which person or book had the information we needed.Now，we just have to remember where it is stored on the Internet.
    According to Sparrow，we are not becoming people with poor memories as a result of the Internet.Instead，we are learning how to organize huge quantities of information so that we are able to access it at a later date.This doesn't mean we are becoming either more or less intelligent，but there is no doubt that the way we use memory is changing.

（1）Why did Sparrow and her team make the experiments？

（2）What was the result of the second experiment？
The result of the second experiment was that people remember the location of the information rather than the information itself.

（3）Would you please give an example of transactive memory？
For example，we don't want to remember the information by ourselves.Instead，we'd like to remember the person who knows the information and ask him for it when we need the information.

（4）What do you think of the fact that the way we use memory is changing？Why？（about 40 words）
I think it good to change the way we use our memory.With the help of the Internet，we are learning how to organize huge quantities of information.We can store and use more information，which will surely broaden our view and improve work efficiency.So I think it's a good thing."或"1 don't think it is a good thing to change the way we use our memory.It will make us rely too much on the Internet.Once there is a problem with it，we will be a loss of much information that should have been stored in our mind.So | don't think that's a good thing.
