She and her research team wanted to know how the In ternet is cha nging 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 hnttnr Pnnnln in thn firct nrm in knnA/ thn/ In another experiment, the researchers gave people facts to remember, and told them where to find the information on the computer. The information was in a specific computer folder （文件夹）.Surprisingly, people later remembered the folder location （位置）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 （交互记忆）.” According to Sparrow, we are not becoming people with poor memories as a result of the Internet. Instead, computer users are developing stronger transactive memories; that is, people are learning how to organize huge quantities of information so that they are able to access it at a later date .This doesrTt mean we are becoming either more or less intelligent, but there is no doubt that the way we use memory is cha nging.文章大意：文章主要讲的是互联网给人类的口卜7苗走的彫谛 1 The passage begins with two questionsto.
