‘Infomania’ worse than marijuana

‘Infomania’ worse than marijuana

Workers distracted by email and phone calls suffer a fall in IQ more than twice that found in marijuana smokers, new research has claimed.

I must admit, I am definitely one of them. I wonder how many of us at SunniPath fall in that category. Seriously, we all need to learn to switch off. As I am writing, its 4:26 AM in Amman and I am still at work.

What are you doing working this late. My mind stopped working about an hour ago. I’ve just been looking busy. :)

Hmmm. How about, “I henceforth resolve never to answer Imran’s emails again because it will reduce my IQ.”?

What do you think, Sidi?

Was I suppose to read this? My IQ is now so low, I can’t seem to understand anything.

Assalamu alaykum, on a unrelated topic, will you be posting the recording of Pride and Humility lecture?

Wa Salam.
