Draw Ss' attention to
the photo and discuss it as a class. What can they see in the photo
and what do they think it reflects? Extend the discussion to a more
general talk about the Internet. What do they use the Internet for?
Can they imagine not having access to it?

Ss discuss the photo in
pairs. Ss work in pairs to make a list of the top five uses of the
Internet in the world today. Elicit suggestions and write the most-

Answers:
She thinks that the
Internet has brought changes mainly for the better. Her arguments
are (a) that the human brain adapts to change, (b) that the
Internet has improved our minds and the way we think because we can
concentrate on useful things and not just on memorising things, and
(c) that we can still read books in addition to using the Internet.
(She also mentions that we read things more superficially on the
Internet.)
