Something for the weekend;
Scientist Harold Pashler showed that when people do two cognitive tasks at once, their cognitive capacity can drop from that of a Harvard MBA to that of an 8-year-old.
According to a study at the University of Sussex, constant multitasking actually damages your brain. They found that people who regularly multitask have lower brain density in the region of their brain responsible for empathy, cognitive control and emotional control.
Finally, a study done at the University of London found that constant emailing and text-messaging reduces mental capability up to 15 points on an IQ test. This negative effect is similar to missing a night's sleep. And nearly three times more than the effect of smoking pot.
