Study - Email Destroys The Mind Faster Than Marijuana

"Modern technology depletes human cognitive abilities more rapidly than drugs, according to a psychiatric study conducted at King's College, London. And the curse of 'messaging' is to blame.

Email users suffered a 10 per cent drop in IQ scores, more than twice the fall recorded by marijuana users, in a clinical trial of over a thousand participants. Doziness, lethargy and an inability to focus are classic characteristics of a spliffhead, but email users exhibited these particular symptoms to a "startling" degree, according to Dr Glenn Wilson."

Add this to the list of schools that you don't ever want to enroll in. This is so full of problems I can't cover them all. I mean, how could this even be something worth looking at? How retarded. I'd love to hear their hypothesis as to the science behind this "phenomenon". A doctorate means nothing in this day and age.

I second that, also, email doesn't actually alter your brain cell count, like weed does.
