"Research on sleep deprivation suggests that the IQ drop caused by electronic obsession is also equivalent to a wakeful night." I better not let my parents see that. And I should probably sleep now.

Another thing that harms one's IQ is spellcheck (in the case of computers) or Predictive Text Messaging (in the case of mobile phones). Why bother learning your language properly, when it can be done for you!? :icon_roll

Yes, I use it too- it's far better to speak properly. Text speak is certainly nothing approaching proper speech. But the point is, is that with children now getting mobile phones, surely they are being damaged by the instant gap filling of predictive 'txting', let alone the radiation thier soft brain matter will take.

I thought kids these days were manufactured with the brain thing being optional in the first place?

If it has an adverse effect, it would be that it reduces learning oppurtunities rather than actual intelligence.
