Good news for those internet users.
Before, the risk of high radiation exposure is a hindrance for me to stay online for a long period of time, as my old folks would not allow me to.
Now, studies show that even them will benefit by staying online and surfing the "radioactive" net.
For middle aged and older people at least, using the internet helps boost brain power, research suggests.
A University of California Los Angeles team found searching the web stimulates centres in the brain that control decision-making and complex reasoning.
The researchers say this might even help to counter-act the age-related physiological changes that cause the brain to slow down.
The study features in the American Journal of Geriatric Psychiatry.
