Nancy Jones, Women's Health Magazine, May 2010: "By now, we all know that multitasking can be a losing proposition." There is some evidence and a sort of tests and experiments that verify the brain does better when it is performing tasks in sequences rather than all at once, and it is due to brain's cognitive limits. As Clifford Nass, PH. D., says: "We still don't know the long-term effects of chronic multitasking, but there's no question we're bad at it, and it is bad for us."
I personally agree with Nancy Jones article because there is no way a human being can be cappable of doing two or three things that require to be focused on. Not even a simple thing as talking by phone while driving or even trying to fix the exterior mirrors in your car while driving, both of the activities require a high level of coordination and you should be careful because on the contrary you could be cuasing a tragedy in a blink.
Even when you try to speak when eating some times it happen you bite your inside cheek yourself; or when you try to rubb your belly when rubbing your head, the same thing happen, our brain can not coordinate a hand in a kind of movement and the other hand in another movement.
If our brain was not maid to work in all at once, why don't we try to enjoy one activity at a time?

i like how u started out and as the paper goes on it like you are not supporting your idea.In your summery you wrote "There is some evidence and a sort of tests and experiments that verify the brain does better when it is performing tasks in sequences rather than all at once, and it is due to brain's cognitive limits."i like it, but you did explain your evidence. and write more
ReplyDeleteHi
ReplyDeleteMy name is Ellie and my class and I were assigned to give feedback to you and your classmates. By reading your personal observations I can tell that you have a great grasp of the aticles meaning. However in your summery, you used quotes but didn't explain what they meant or why they were important. A summery should be a brief description (in your own words) of what it is the author wants his or her readers to know. The article mainly wants us to know that, studies show, we are not very good at multi-tasking. You show your understanding in the following paragraph but neglect to explain it well in your summery. One tip I can offer is avoid using direct quotes in the summery because when we put it into our own words it shows that we truly understand what the author is trying to say.
