"Le "syndrome de déconcentration", mal du XXIe siècle ? La multiplication des chaînes télévisées a habitué notre cerveau au zapping. Depuis, notre environnement quotidien est en ébullition.

In fact, most categorizations place activity streams under “social software” for historical purposes, not that their value is limited to social status updates."

Multitasking, when it comes to paying attention, is a myth. The brain naturally focuses on concepts sequentially, one at a time. At first that might sound confusing; at one level the brain does multitask. You can walk and talk at the same time. Your brain controls your heartbeat while you read a book. Pianists can play a piece with left hand and right hand simultaneously. Surely this is multitasking. But I am talking about the brain’s ability to pay attention. It is the resource you forcibly deploy while trying to listen to a boring lecture at school. It is the activity that collapses as your brain wanders during a tedious presentation at work. This attentional ability is not capable of multitasking.
