Anyways,
When looking in Restaks writing I remembered he talked about the crawlers on the bottom of the screen and how he was unable to focus on the First Lady’s speech she was giving. He would get bits in pieces but eventually he missed a whole section because on the bottom of the screen non important texts were scrolling across the screen. This can be related to Anderson’s piece where he talks about how your brain processes information and the information is put in all these different channels. Here you can talk about how the channel can only have one task as a time to function correctly. That’s why someone can’t focus on two things on a screen at once, and that why texting and driving doesn’t work either.
One other big thing I picked out how on Restaks he talks about how dividing the brain up to do too many task isn’t good. Now how I connected this to Andersons writing was with the fact the he talks about how meditation is the key to overcoming lack of attention. Also I thought I could bring in the part about the body needing a certain amount of dopamine… ( affects of depression, and emotions)
