The development of digital technology and the Internet has caused changes not only global, such as the high speed of information transfer and access to information resources, but also changes in the human brain. Synapses, plastic connectors, changing the place of connections between nerve cells through which the electrical signals are transmitted and by means of which the human brain works, transforms during the learning process. Because the brain learns constantly, using to digital media also leaves traces and causes changes in memory. From the perspective of neuroscience, the improper usage of the digital technology has an impact on mental processes. The recent studies of Manfred Spitzer allow to illustrate the negative impact on attention, speech development, intelligence. In addition there is an impact on ethical, moral and interpersonal behavior, as well as on the self perception and the identity of the individual.
