Infomania worse than marijuana

There is a rise in informania. The study claims that Workers distracted by email and phone calls suffer a fall in IQ more than twice that found in marijuana smokers.

"The University of London psychologist who carried out the study, Dr Glenn Wilson, told the Daily Mail that unchecked infomania could reduce workers' mental sharpness.
Those who are constantly breaking away from tasks to react to email or text messages suffer similar effects on the mind as losing a night's sleep, he said. "


Just think what happens to maurijuana smokers who suffer from infomania!

if the iq drops wonder what happens to the quality of the person work ... maybe all this multi-tasking just makes people look busy but is not producing good results: http://www.happinessu.org/time/sample.asp
