Memory lapse or Alzheimer’s? Multi-tasking fuels forgetting
By Sharon Jayson, USA TODAY
SAN DIEGO — Those twinges of forgetfulness that appear to be getting more pronounced may worry you. After all, the statistics are scary: Every 70 seconds, someone in the USA develops Alzheimer’s. But every lapse isn’t a signal that your memory is kaput. Click on this link for whole article:

Whew! Apparently my all-wise BFF Allen was right. Multi-tasking doesn’t save time, energy or make the best use of our brains. I have to admit, doing things in a linear way certainly feels better in day to day living.
Here’s to your success…

Thank you, Susan, for a thought provoking article. I was struck by this passage:
“People are trying to multitask more than they used to, but they don’t have to keep as many things in memory as they used to, because they have electronic devices that do that,” says psychology professor Nelson Cowan of the University of Missouri-Columbia. “Overall, I’m not sure whether this is training our brains or letting them go lax.”
When I was little, a cashier could give you change from a ten dollar bill lightning quick. Today, that same cashier needs the cash register to calculate the amount for them. At the same time, the cashier of yesteryear would not have the research skills that their modern day equivalent employs daily searching the internet. Technology affirms some skills while making others redundant. I don’t think it’s a question of letting our brains go lax.
Sudoku, anyone?

Thank you, Bill. Sudoku…I can’t even remember how to pronounce it, let alone learn how to play it. But, I’m not giving up. Somehow I feel it would be good for me…lol.
