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.
