不知不觉中，手机、电脑等已经成了我们生活中的必需品。然而，这些物品带给我们的也许不全是好处和便利。有心理学家发现，使用手机或敲击电脑键盘发送或接收电子信息时会暂时降低使用者约10个百分点的智商。换句话说，经常使用这些物品会让我们的大脑变得迟钝。
The regular(经常地)use of text messages and e-mails can lower the IQ(智商)more than twice as smoking opium(雅片)。
That is the claim of psychologists(心理学家)who have found that tapping(敲)away on a mobile phone or computer keypad knocks up to ten points off the user’s IQ.
Although modern technology can have huge benefits, excessive use can be damaging not only to a person’s mind, but to their social life.
Excessive use is having a negative(负面的)effect on work colleagues, increasing stress and dissenting feelings. Nine out of ten(十之八九)polled thought that colleagues who an-swered e-mails or messages during a face-to-face meeting were extremely rude. Yet a third Britons believes that it is not only acceptable (可接受的)，but actually diligent(勤奋的) and efficient (有效率的) to do so.
The effects on IQ were studied by Dr Glenn Wilson, a psychologist in university of London.“This is a very real and widespread(普遍的)phenomenon (现象)， ” he said .“We have found that excessive use will damage a worker’s performance by re-ducing their men-tal sharpness. Peo-ple should take a more balanced and appropriate way of working.”
