沉迷電郵 IQ跌10點

英國一項研究調查發現，沉迷電郵對智商的影響比毒品大，沉迷電郵的人智商降10點，比吸食大麻者的跌幅大一倍。現在坊間除戒毒戒酒治療外，更有戒電郵12步驟，讓人脫離電郵癮，重獲

新生。

參加戒電郵計劃的人士首先要承認自己受電郵控制，接計劃會逐步幫助上癮者戒掉在假日、車上甚至在浴室查閱及回覆電郵的習慣。

較毒品更損智商

美國商界行政人員教練伊根負責替沉迷電郵者找出戒癮辦法。她指出，濫用電郵可以大大降低生產力，令生意蒙受數以百萬鎊的損失。在她的案例之中，有人玩高球時每打一球都查閱一次BlackBerry，令人以為他是一名不懂社交的強迫症患者，因而損失了一名客戶。

伊根表示，有人每經過一部電腦都要查閱一次電郵，有人的收件箱有3600封電郵，亦有人幾分鐘內收不到電郵時，就會給自己發電郵。

員工生產力跌損失百萬鎊

英國另一項調查顯示，一間有2850名職員的公司每年損失約1.5億港元，因七成電郵一進收件箱，一分鐘內就會有人處理，平均一名職員在受「電郵干擾」後，需要64秒才能回到原來的工作上。

Txt and email 'reduce IQ more than cannabis' (Daily Mail UK)

Workers distracted by phones, emails and text messages suffer a greater loss of IQ than a person smoking marijuana, a study revealed today.

The constant interruptions reduce productivity and leave people feeling tired and lethargic.

But the fact that people constantly break their concentration in order to answer and check these messages shows Britons are obsessed with technology.

Almost two out three people check their electronic messages out of office hours and when on holiday, according to the study carried out by TNS Research and commissioned by Hewlett Packard.

Half of all workers respond to an email within 60 minutes of receiving one while one in five will break off from a business or social engagement to respond to a message.

The survey, in which 1,100 Britons were quizzed, revealed that nine out of 10 people thought colleagues who answered messages during face-to-face meetings were rude.

Three out of 10 believed it was not only acceptable, but a sign of diligence and efficiency.

24-hour 'always on'

But the mental impact of trying to balance a steady inflow of messages with getting on with normal work took its toll.

In 80 clinical trials, psychiatrist Dr Glenn Wilson, from King's College London University, monitored the IQ of workers throughout the day.

He found the IQ of those who tried to juggle messages and work fell by 10 points - the equivalent to missing a whole night's sleep.

This is considerably more than the four point fall detected after smoking marijuana.

Dr Wilson said: "This is a very real and widespread phenomenon.

"We have found that this obsession with looking at messages, if unchecked, will damage a worker's performance by reducing their mental sharpness.

"Companies should encourage a more balanced and appropriate way of working."

Dr Wilson said the IQ drop was even more significant in the men who took part in the tests. David Smith, from Hewlett Packard, said: "The research suggests that we are in danger of being caught up in a 24-hour 'always on' society.

"This is more worrying when you consider the potential impairment on performance and concentration for workers, and the consequent impact on businesses."
