Emails 'pose threat to IQ'

Martin Wainwright, Friday April 22, 2005, The Guardian

The distractions of constant emails, text and phone messages are a greater
threat to IQ and concentration than taking cannabis, according to a survey
of befuddled volunteers.
Doziness, lethargy and an increasing inability to focus reached "startling"
levels in the trials by 1,100 people, who also demonstrated that emails in
particular have an addictive, drug-like grip.
