Maybe a hot take, but this goes for everyone. I see older people that can’t stay off their phones, and have little to no ability to multitask while doing it.
Nobody can multi task. I wish this stupid myth would die.
Its pretty funny how people will take a single low-population college paper over the evidence of their own experience.
I multitask daily, I have to it's part of my job.
It depends on the definition I guess. I would consider driving a car to be multitasking. But doing three different office tasks on my laptop feels more like context switching as someone dubbed it here.
But I'm just some dude it's not like I've read any papers on it but that's what it feels like for me.
Well I guess anything can mean whatever you want with that statement.
Good luck understanding objective reality tho. But at lest you'll never be wrong or be required to call your assumptions into question.
Must be nice.
