I think the idea that anyone is good at multitasking is just not true.

I don't know about that, I have seen the misses talking on the phone and typing like a machine all day.

That's not scientific though - if I remember correctly whenever people have been tested to see if they can do multiple tasks efficiently at once it almost always results in impaired performance compared to just doing a single task.

I see what your talking about, I guess the brain just skips backward and forward really quickly so it just looks like they are doing two things at the same time.

Yes I think you are right. I also seem to remember that constantly changing "mode" like that can exhaust your mind more quickly.

Is that why women are always saying their tired. Lol
