“You can do it with practice”

So in fact the human body can “multitask”.

Everyone at work that uses a company vehicle was recently forced to take a “Distracted Driving” course. The prevailing “expert” opinion is that we can’t simultaneously carry out tasks or do things. Rather, we divide our attention into “micro-slices” and shift back and forth from task to task in these slices of focus.

Since the human mind can’t carry out multiple instructions simultaneously, we aren’t technically multitasking. I call bullspit - that the course involved semantically hair-splitting exercises, but I was able to answer the questions on their test to their satisfaction.
