Multitasking over brain power

The new age of technology is always expanding. People see this as a good thing, always being in touch with friends and family and things that are happening in the world. But is this affecting our brains? Not allowing enough time for the brain to rest, or give it time to remember what was done. Every day repetition is not good for the brain either. It doesn’t allow for new patterns to develop. Could this affect us from being able to critically think? Even the slightest bit of multitasking can cause the brain to drain. Technology is everything now at my gym all the elliptical and cardio machines have TV’s on them to watch while exercising. Multitasking is proven not to work, your brain cannot take the toll of doing multiple tasks at the same time. It’s acceptable to multitask in our society, but no one understands that it won’t help your cause. Why are we not able to achieve to complete multiple tasks at the same time? What causes our brain the ability to not achieve multitasking? There are a lot of distractions that are involved in the college life, but the ability to multitask is talent developed by the will to succeed. People try to multitask by doing multiple things simultaneously, but without a certain focus none of this will be achieved. There are a lot of people that don’t have the ability to multitask, and that’s due to the fact that they lack focus. Multitasking can also be affected by distractions around those who wish to complete their desired tasks, such as T.V, computers, and any type of media source. I’ve been able to multitask, because I’ve been dedicated to my schoolwork and have blocked out any other distraction around me. Multitasking isn’t something you cannot develop because it overloads your brain.
