SMART PHONES MAY MAKE US STUPID! NEW STUDY.

A new study from Carnegie Mellon, first reported on yahoo.com, attempts to  analyze the impact of juggling email, texts, and social media on your brain  while you’re at work. People who were told they might be interrupted but were  left alone had a surprising result.

Dr. Ezriel Kornel, a neurosurgeon, says it is not surprising that people who were interrupted even if they knew they’d be interrupted performed poorly during  the experiment.

Peter Shankman, a marketing and advertising consultant, says companies have  taken notice of potential distracted employees.
