Uh oh.

In more than eighty clinical trials, Dr. Glenn Wilson, a psychiatrist at King’s College London University, found that workers distracted by phone calls, e-mails and text messages suffer a greater loss of IQ than if they’d smoked marijuana.

I guess I should light up instead of checking my e-mail so much…
