A myth was 'busted' right before my eyes... Men CAN in fact do two things at once!!!!

This afternoon, Matt has been expertly reading the paper and watching the cricket at the same time.

   Hmm… I have observed that most if not all men have been able to both walk and chew gum for quite some time, this is not a new thing George!

   Though I will admit that if you throw in a third variable, say thinking and us mere men tend to fail.

   Don’t worry George, it was probably a small lapse on Matt’s part. Tomorrow, he will be back to normal and focused on one task at a time. This multitasking affliction doesn’t last for long in men.

   In any case, it’s not good for the brain…

   Yes – he did recover very quickly once the cricket finished for the day. And he does struggle with “bouncing from e-mail to web text to video to chat to phone calls,” but I don’t think it’s due to ‘Brain muddle from multi-tasking’…
