22 Multi-tasking

from The Amazing Human Body · host Matthew Stingleback

Episode 22 No matter how much computers and smart-phones want you to believe it, you can probably only do one thing at a time. Multi-tasking is something only 2.5% of the population can actually do without seeing a degradation in performance. These people are called super-taskers. "Hang-on", I hear you say, "I can drive and talk at the same time". Yes, that's true! but what you are actually doing is putting you driving "on hold" by letting your unconsciousness do it for you. Try instead driving though a battlefield with bombs going off and having an existential conversation about life. [email protected]
