In a survey carried out by the Pew Research Center, participants were fairly evenly split about how Internet wired world will impact the teenagers and twenty-somethings of "Generation Y," Reuters reported.

In all, 1,021 technology insiders, critics and students took part in the survey released on Wednesday.

Fifty-five percent of them agreed with a statement that in 2020 the brains of young people would be "wired" differently from those over 35, with good results for finding answers quickly and without shortcomings in their mental processes.

But 42 percent were pessimistic, agreeing with a second statement that in 2020 young technology users would be easily distracted, would lack deep thinking skills and would thirst only for instant gratification.

据路透社报道，在皮尤研究中心周三发布的一份调查中，就互联网世界对“千禧一代”少年和二十几岁的青年将产生的影响，参与人员差不多分成了两派。

共有1021名科技业内人士、评论家和学生参与了调查。

55%的人赞同一种说法，即2020年青年人大脑的“连接”构造与35岁以上人的大脑不同，优势在于他们能迅速找到答案，思维过程并无缺陷。

但是42%的人却很悲观，同意另一种观点，即2020年，科技产品的年轻用户易分心，缺乏深度思考的能力，只满足简短的信息。
