Robot Green was 31years old when he went to college. That was his first time he came into the classroom. Eleven years later he received a doctor’s degree in physics. Robert Green was a good example in studies for all people. His life was a moving story.

From a young age, Robert Green lived a simple and poor life with his grandfather in the mountains of Boston. His grandfather taught him to read. Later he taught himself to read Maths books and Physics books. From time to time, he bought old books with his saved money and read them all. At that time few people in Robert’s neighbourhood knew about his love of reading and learning. But one person, Jane Keller did know him. She worked in a library. Robert used to go there and he read everything in it. She suggested books for him to read.

                                               Why texting harms your IQ

     The regular use of text messages and e-mails can lower the IQ more than twice as much as smoking

marijuana (大麻). That is the statement of researchers who have found that tapping away on a mobile

phone or computer keypad or checking for electronic messages temporarily knocks up to 10 points off

the user's IQ. This rate of decline in intelligence compares unfavorably with the four-point drop in IQ

associated with smoking marijuana, according to British researchers, who have described the

phenomenon of improved stupidity as "infomania". The research conducted by Hewlett Packard, the

technology company, has concluded that it is mainly a problem for adult workers, especially men.

     It is concluded that too much use of modern technology can damage a person's mind. It can cause a

constant distraction of "always on" technology when employees should be concentrating on what they are

paid to do. Infomania means that they lose concentration as their minds remain fixed in an almost

permanent state of readiness to react to technology instead of focusing on the task in hand. The report

also added that, in a long term, the brain will be considerably shaped by what we do to it and by the

experience of daily life. At a microcellular level, the complex networks of nerve cells that make up parts

of the brain actually change in response to certain experiences.  

     Too much use of modern technology can be damaging not only to a person's mind, but to their social

relationship. 1100 adults were interviewed during the research. More than 62 per cent of them admitted

that they were addicted to checking their e-mails and text messages so often that they scrutinized

work-related ones even when at home or on holiday. Half said that they always responded immediately

to an email and will even interrupt a meeting to do so. It is concluded that infomania is increasing stress

and anxiety and affecting one's characteristics. Nine out of ten thought that colleagues who answered

e-mails or messages during a face-to-face meeting were extremely rude.

     The effects on IQ were studied by Dr Glenn Wilson, a psychologist at University of London. "This is

a very real and widespread phenomenon," he said. "We have found that infomania will damage a

worker's performance by reducing their mental sharpness and changing their social life. Companies

should encourage a more balanced and appropriate way of working."

A. has a positive influence on one's IQ
