THE regular use of text messages and e-mails can lower the IQ more than twice as much as smoking marijuana.

That is the claim of psychologists who have found that tapping away on a mobile phone or computer keypad or checking them for electronic messages temporarily knocks up to 10 points off the user’s IQ.

I'm doomed!

These “best practice tips” including using “dead time”, such as travelling time, to read messages and check e-mails

Nothing better than waiting to check your message while driving... :fighty:

Throw out the marijuana and start text-messaging your friend :D


BTW all the research are dumb, seriously, marijuana effects lasted longer, and if text'ing really decrease your IQ (cause you'd lose concentration), the effect would be temporary.
Even farting while doing an IQ test would drop your IQ. Heck, even looking at a fly while doing IQ test would drop your IQ. And staring at a sexy secretary while inside a meeting would make you distracted. :D
