Multitasking makes us a little dumber (?)

Multitasking makes us a little dumber (?)

Is multi-tasking bad for your brain? Experts reveal the hidden perils of juggling too many jobs (?)

AMIGA Users: are we concerned about it? Have we become stupid since 1985?
For me: certainly not :)

Well it's true for both computers and people. More chance of memory fragmentation.
Although the Amiga looks like it was designed to multitask from the start thanks to the design.

I always get an upset tummy if I eat in front of the TV.:roflmao:

And you?

These "scientists" who made this study deserve to get kicked out of their so called institution, so they can continue to smoke pot and claim it is less affecting them than multitasking. Our bodies multitask all the time, if they were not multitasking we wouldn't exist. Imagine your heart not being able to pump blood, because you breathe at the same time. If you start to eat, you have to stop breathing and your heart also must stop because according to these "scientists", we can not multitask. But even at higher level at the brain functions, multitasking is in us, and we can not stop it. So while I am writing this post, according to them I will not be able to hear a phone, because I am typing at the same time, while scratching my head thinking about how stupid the posted link is. We all multitask, all the time, probably not as good as the Amiga, but we don't need to perform guru meditation that much, because we are not multitasking enough.

Its difficult to read the Mail article with all the scantily clad ladies displayed. Is that multi-tasking? Maybe the Mail is guilty of causing stupidity.
Amiga 3000D UP and running! Hear that clicking. 8)
Amiga 3000D & 4000D in storage sadly.

The Daily Mail is the only UK newspaper with a female readership over 50%...
