“We were able to spend a day with Amber Schrock in the town of Kaabong in northeast Uganda. Amber and her husband Terrill are working to develop a written language for the Ik people who live about two hours north of Kaabong. Despite her title of “Community Development Specialist”, Amber spends a lot of her energy running a local clinic in town.”

“And here’s the really surprising finding: the more people multitask, the worse they are, not just at other mental abilities, but at multitasking itself.”
“Multitasking, in short, is not only not thinking, it impairs your ability to think. Thinking means concentrating on one thing long enough to develop an idea about it. Not learning other people’s ideas, or memorizing a body of information, however much those may sometimes be useful. Developing your own ideas. In short, thinking for yourself. You simply cannot do that in bursts of 20 seconds at a time, constantly interrupted by Facebook messages or Twitter tweets, or fiddling with your iPod, or watching something on YouTube.”
