The New York Times has an interesting article about the effect technology has on our ability to focus and engage with one another. Scientists claim “our ability to focus is being undermined by bursts of information.” Accompanying the article is an interactive test that measures your focus and how fast you juggle tasks. On my first try, I got a perfect score on the focus test, and performed faster than average on the tasks test. Given how often I’m plugged in, I was expecting a lower score, so I would take these research findings with a grain of salt. Nonetheless, it’s a fun test. What was your score?
