| In Alina Tugend’s article on multitasking, she shares with her readers that psychologist, neuroscientists, and others are researching and finding out that multitasking simply just doesn’t work. Having a conversation over the internet using email and talking on the phone with a friend is beyond some people, it is multitasking, but it’s also causing stress and making people less efficient. Obviously it is possible for the human brain to switch tasks and get multiple things done at once, and some multitasking is beneficial, but Alina's article explains why it could be unbeneficial, so listen closely. Earl Miller, a neuroscientist from Massachusetts Institute of Technology, researched that when there are a bunch of visual stimulants in front of a human, only one or two things tend to activate your neurons, meaning the brain can only focus on one to two items at once. | Alina responds by writing this article and focusing on the matter of not taking much to realize the more your brain tries to focus on more than two tasks at once, the longer it’s going to take you to complete every task in all. So take Alina’s advice, “you, too, can learn the art of single-tasking.”
