Uh-oh. I'm in trouble, according to this CNN.com article
"E-mails 'hurt IQ more than pot'" That's right...
"Workers distracted by phone calls, e-mails and text messages suffer a greater loss of IQ than a person smoking marijuana, a British study shows.
The constant interruptions reduce productivity and leave people feeling tired and lethargic, according to a survey carried out by TNS Research and commissioned by Hewlett Packard."
I'm in trouble. I am an e-mail addict. Suddenly, I can just feel the IQ points vanishing...

I wouldn't worry about it. I think people who are addicted to their Blackberries are losing IQ points. I watched a man swerve and almost hit another car while driving because he was working his Blackberry with both hands while driving.
Most of what an IQ score measures is how quickly you can think. For many people, it's easy to jump around emails and stay focused.
dang! i thought email just ruined me grammar.
