20、家之所以如此宣称是因为他们发现，人们在使用手机或电脑键盘打字或查询电子信息时，智力会暂时降低 10分。 英国研究人员称，与吸食大麻相比，电子信息对智力的不利影响则大得多。人在吸食大麻时智商会降低 4分。研 究人员将这种暂时变笨的现象称为 “信息狂躁症 ”。 关于剥夺睡眠的研究表明因为痴迷于电子产品而造成的智力衰退相当于一夜失眠。 造成这种智力明显衰退的原因在于，当员工们应该集中精力工作时， “无处不在 ”的科技却总是不断分散他们的注意力。信息狂躁症意味着人们的大脑几乎总要处于一种随时对 “技术 ”作出反应的状态，因而无法将注意力集中在手头的工作上。 【知识模块】 英译汉 2 【正确答案】 市场
