Bad News about Multitasking
Turns out all this high tech texting, emailing, twittering, facebooking, aint so good for our brains...called BRAIN INTERRUPTED. Time to go back to making lists and checking in on different levels of communication!

Wow... Interesting stuff - and something to take to heart! Thanks for posting this.
There was a time when I might have included myself in with those who have trained their brains to adapt, but anymore? Not as much.  I do think, though, that many of us have learned to laser focus on what we're doing to tune out many of the distractions we face while we're in a signing. Examples that come to mind: TV blaring in the background, kids screaming, dogs barking or whining, the pet parrot swearing the in background, etc. (Then there was the potty training lesson during the signing for the triplet boys, but I digress...) Wanting to get out of there as quickly as possible sure helps - but this info does make you think...
