This was a really enlightening infographic. I've read a lot about this general effect--that multitasking doesn't work well and informational overload causes problems with focus--but it's nice to have a reminder.
As a pilot, I was taught techniques for managing all the information you have to process, and it gives the illusion of multitasking, but in reality it's more like performing many small tasks in sequence. So perhaps now that information overload is becoming such a prevalent issue (not just limited to people like pilots) the techniques these professions used could be taught to everyone. Just an idea...
