Okay. So I'm going to come back to that because this is how you, the way you put it at the beginning is, had to do with how your brain is allocating resources. So when you're younger, you can take in things. Your brain is more malleable. For example, how good are you on social media?

Well, this speaks well for the fact that you've managed to break, you know, to go beyond the generation gap because- I can type with my thumbs, Terry. Okay, there you go. That's a manual skill that you learned.

I couldn't believe it. I saw people doing that, and now I can do it too. But the thing is that if you learn how to do that early in life, you're much more good at it. You can move your thumbs much more quickly. You can have many more tweets going. What are they called now? They're not called tweets.

Okay, we'll call them tweets. Okay, that's good. But, you know, I walk across campus and I see everybody, like half the people are tweeting. Or, you know, they're doing something with their cell phone. I mean, it's unbelievable.

Every day is different.

And, you know, they're looking down at their phone and they're walking along, even people who are skateboarding. Unbelievable. I mean, it's amazing what the human being can do when they get into something. But what happens is the younger generation picks up whatever technology it is and the brain gets really good at it.

And you can pick it up later, but you're not quite as agile, not quite as maybe obsessive.

So, you know, this is fascinating. I'd like to know what's going on in your brain. Why is it... And also, I'd like to know from younger people whether they have the same... I think not. I think my guess is that they don't feel fatigue because they got into this early enough. And this is actually a very, very... I think that it has a lot to do with... the foundation you put into your brain.
