Info

According to many studies, it has been proven that the brain possesses some plasticity. Brain plasticity is the ability of the nervous system to adept to different circumstances and surroundings. The brain is able to find new ways of learning, for instance, after an injury or stroke. The brain can even change because of a new job or hobby.

From these studies it appears that the brain is changing and adapting all the time. This makes sense, humans had to be able to think in new and creative ways thousands of years ago, and we still can. This is probably one of the main reasons the human race is so successful. So, though not completely proven so far, I would guess that technology would absolutely change brain structure because the brain is always adapting in the first place.
