I was really interest by Human behavior as a result of intentional voluntary cognition or less controlled automatic cognition. In the past psychologists believed that we engage in either controlled thinking or automatic thinking, but newer studies reveal that we can engage in both to varying degrees. I maintain that this co-occurrence is commonly experienced during activity on the Internet, especially in individuals who are well acquainted with its use.

To complete the analogy, it would be more akin to the automatic process of driving a car while consciously seeking correct directions on a map.
If you were to observe an older adult lacking expertise with computers and someone highly familiar with them, both attempting to locate particular type information, you would find the latter to succeed many times faster.
Certainly we must question what effect this will have on our ability to manage controlled and automatic thinking. I would postulate that although creating a degree of frustration, it is also generating a challenge which we as a continuously developing animal will be exposed to ever more frequently. Perhaps an outcome of this may be a more developed form of cognitive processing.

True, this is partly a result of one knowing where to click and the other not being so sure, but another aspect to this situation is that the more accustomed individual no longer has consciously think about what the next step is in obtaining the desired piece of information. Often you will find older computer users, even those with many years experience, still speaking to themselves “double click explorer, type
