Email Worse Than Marijuana For Intelligence?
wallykeyster writes "The Guardian is reporting that a recent study at King's College indicates that the average IQ loss of email users was 10 points (or six points more than cannabis users). Details on The Register as well. The Register has a related story about how computers make kids dumb and an apparent "problem-solving deficit disorder" observed in children who use computers. I thought it was television that rotted your brain?"
How about those kids that are forced to use Linux/Unix machines that force them to think and create instead of blindly clicking and receiving all?
Email didn't make you fat, sitting in your mom's basement trying to be a l33t linux kernel hax0r made you fat. Well maybe not you specific... ah fuck it, all of /. are fat linux fucks.
well, it apparently doesn't give you a few points in your spelling skill...
