[ad_1]Why our brains are not built for multitasking of media, and how we can learn to live with technology in a more balanced way.
"Brilliant and practical, just what we need in these techno-human times." - Jack Kornfield, author of The Wise Heart
Most of us are free to acknowledge that we are obsessed with our units. We are proud of our ability to multitask - read job email, reply to a text, check Facebook, watch a video. Talk on the phone, send a text, drive a car. Enjoy family dinner with a glowing smartphone next to our plates. We can do everything, 24/7! Never remember the errors in the email, the near miss of the road and the countless conversation at the table. I The Distracted Mind Adam Gazzaley and Larry Rosen - a neuroscientist and a psychologist - explain why our brains are not built for multitasking and suggesting better ways to live in a high technology world without giving up our modern technology.
The authors explain that our brains are limited in their ability to pay attention. We do not really do multitask but rather switch between tasks. Distractions and interruptions, often technically related - as the authors refer to as "interference" - collide with our targeting capabilities. We want to finish this paper / spreadsheet / opinion, but our phone will notify you of an incoming message and we will release it all. Even without a warning, we decide to "check" social media immediately.
Gazzaley and Rosen offer practical strategies, behind science, to combat distraction. We can change the minds with meditation, video games and exercise. We can change our behavior by planning our accessibility and acknowledging our anxiety about being out of reach even briefly. They do not suggest we give up our devices, but we use them in a more balanced manner.
