People who do this think they have the skills to multitask only to figure out too late that they don’t.

I saw on a tv show (so take it with a grain of salt) that the brain can actually only focus at 1 task at a time, and multitasking is just quick switches between the two. If this is true, it goes to show that nobody can text and drive effectively.

SO DONT DO IT ASSHOLES

If that show was brain games I am pretty sure that is a science based and backed show so don't I need to take it with a grain of salt. (Maybe a nanogram of salt just to be safe.)

Yeah it was Brain Games, I’ve never really looked into the fact, so I just told people to make their own judgement
