Salam,
Kemaren aku telah membaca hasil penelitian ini di milis ppiindia ini juga dalam bahasa Indonesia, sekrg edisi Inggrisnya pula yang ku baca. Asyik juga. Ato emang mbak Indah Nuritasari suka menerjemahkan isi milis ini kedalam bahasa Inggrisnya. Rajin amat mbak Indah, hehehe. Btw, mbah Indah ini org Sunda ya? Dulu ketika aku masih di Bogor, ada anak tetangga yang namanya juga Indah. Cuakep buanget. Eh..., jd ingat ama tuh doi. Oya mba Indah, aku masih single lho, hahaha. Ttg data pribadiku ada di buku diary mbak Ida. And buat mbak Lina, tq humornya, tapi koq pake sembuyi email segala sih? Mbak Ida, jangan kasi nomor hpku ama mbak Indah ini ya, soalnya aku lagi nggak punya duit buat beli pulsa membalas smsnya nanti. lagian aku juga takut kalo sering sms-an bisa jadi malas kerja dan malas kuliah.

"Info-mania, if unchecked, will damage a worker's performance by reducing mental sharpness. Companies should encourage a more balanced and appropriate way of working." > The study of 1,000 adults found that their intelligence declined as tasks were interrupted by incoming e-mails and texts. The average reduction of 10 IQ points, though temporary, is more than double the four-point loss associated with smoking cannabis. A 10-point drop is also associated with missing a night of sleep, the report said. > Sixty-two percent of workers are addicted to checking messages out of office hours and while on vacation, according to the report. A third of all adults will respond to an e-mail immediately or within 10 minutes. One in five is "happy" to interrupt a business or social meeting to respond to an e-mail or text message, the study found. > "E-mails flashing on a screen distracts people, and the use of electronic messaging should be limited," Wilson said. > Women were less affected than men. Their average decline in IQ was five points, compared with 15 for males, suggesting women are better at multitasking, Wilson said. > The study also surveyed opinions on messaging in the workplace. Eighty-nine percent of workers said it's "extremely rude" to answer e- mails and phone messages during a face-to-face meeting. Seventy-two percent were "irritated" by work phone calls held in public places. > The Scotsman newspaper earlier reported the findings of the study, which was commissioned by Hewlett-Packard Co., the world's second- biggest personal- computer maker. > ------------------------ Yahoo!
