英語新聞:搜索引擎容易讓人自視過高

　　以下是祝福網帶來的英語新聞:搜索引擎容易讓人自視過高，歡迎閱讀。

　　Search engines like Google or Yahoo make people think they are smarter than they actually are because they have the world's knowledge at their fingertips, psychologists at Yale University have found.

　　耶魯大學的心理學家發現，谷歌或雅虎等搜索引擎很容易看到他們的智力，因為他們可以通過觸摸指尖獲得世界知識。

　　Browsing the internet for information gives people a ‘widely inaccurate’ view of their own intelligence and could lead to over-confidence when making decisions, experts warn.

　　In a series of experiments, participants who had searched for information on the internet believed they were far more knowledgeable about a subject than those who had learned by normal routes, such as reading a book or talking to a tutor. Internet users also believed their brains were sharper.

　　"The Internet is such a powerful environment, where you can enter any question, and you basically have access to the world's knowledge at your fingertips," said lead researcher Matthew Fisher, a fourth-year doctoral candidate in psychology at Yale University.

　　"It becomes easier to confuse your own knowledge with this external source. When people are truly on their own, they may be wildly inaccurate about how much they know and how dependent they are on the Internet."
