Multitasking is a myth. You can have fast, cheap, or good. And you can possibly have some combination of two of them. But you can't have all three. Multitasking in the sense of trying to do two things at once that require focus is not possible.
Too bad for the world we live in today, I barely do face-to-face with anyone anymore. In fact, I'm afraid of doing that and I avoid it as much as possible.
*DON'T WASTE YOUR TIME* - He talks about Barney the Dinosaur, then goes on to explain that people who are always on FB, or social media are more depressed, etc. etc. ~And then he shows this chart at:~ 15:36 showing.... it doesn't matter if your presence is 'high online', or 'low online' - your rank is the SAME??? Only face-to-face interaction matters - TOTALLY NEGATING HIS ENTIRE ARGUMENT!! Besides, wtf does this have to do with multitasking?? TED is normally great - but this one SSSUUUCCKKKKSSS!!!!
09:05 is the main takeaway "There's a higher cognitive price for multitasking. It makes the brain work differently, spending way more brain power on irrelevant tasks. As a result, you're not spending that brainpower on "relevant" tasks.
I would only disagree that we are all in our "own" virtual world, we are in a shared virtual world imo. Facebook is a virtual plaza. Twitter is a virtual sticker slap, scrolling walking down the street looking at signs on posts and shit. Instagram is obviously a virtual scrapbook documenting all of the humans that use it. Snapchat is for the NSA lol
Thanks for the great lecture sir. We need more ppl like u!

Ya, like trying to have a phone conversation while playing a video game you like. Impossible

i heard about it and i'm sadden. i'm glad that he was able to impart a good truth in this new age. RIP Cliff Nass
Very good discussion.
What's up with the mic problems. I couldn't finish this.
Put captions on, it's that easy. The mic problems aren't even bad.

I love multitasking.
