Your brain cannot just drop it.
Oh, I'm thinking about this and now I'm thinking about that.
Your brain actually takes quite some time to truly release from one task to another task.
Even if you think,
I'm I just put it on like this explain to me how what are the principles of horseback riding and I just went to uh to do this a task like write this report for my manager whatever completely different thing and you think you're good but you're not actually your brain is still processing that so it's not that there will be a gain right but again you do need more data but
Because, of course, as I mentioned in the very beginning, we as humanity, we are excellent in creating tools.
And these tools, as we know, they do actually extend our lifespan very nicely.
But I would argue that they are not actually cognitively the most supporting in most cases.
I think that here we have a lot of open questions.
We have studies about, for example, GPS, right?
Everyone uses GPS.
And multiple papers about GPS, they do specifically show that this dosage, so how much you use GPS, does have a significant effect on your spatial memory and on your understanding of locations, orientation, and picking up landmarks, so buildings around you, literally.
It's like,
Or what is this?
You literally have, you just saw something in the tour guide online, and you will not be able to recognize this actually as a building in front of you right away.
You need to pull the photo as an example.
And there are plenty of papers that actually looked into the tools, right?
Maybe we don't.
We already have one, right?
We have a classic GPS and you have Uber and all these other services.
