According to Steven Johnson, today's video games, the Internet, and television require greater cognitive effort, such as strategic thinking and problem-solving, and thus can increase our intelligence. Johnson argues that these modern media have evolved to challenge our minds and push us to think in new and creative ways, which can enhance our cognitive abilities over time. However, this argument assumes that these media are used in a balanced and productive way, and do not lead to overstimulation or addiction that could harm mental health.
