One of the more controversial theories of the digital age is the claim that technology is changing (or rewiring) our brains (Greenfield, 2009) whilst some also claim that prolonged use of the Web is detrimental to human intellectual development (Carr, 2010). 2010) The Shallows: What the Internet Is Doing to Our Brains.

If multitasking had a cousin, it would be continuous partial attention (CPA): The ability to pay attention to more than one thing for an extended period of time. Basically, if you are constantly only giving activities or interactions just part of your attention, you have CPA. Virtually everyone exhibits CPA on a daily basis.

That’s one full second less than a goldfish. Still, humans can multitask fairly well because most interactions are quick, from a cursory glance at a few social media updates to hitting a “like” button.

Mixed visual-auditory stimuli have an underadditive effect, so that if you have to do both at the same time, total brain activation goes down. So its interesting to think about this underadditive effect where "total brain activation goes down" if presenting in both visual and auditory at the same time.

It is changing the way we communicate, the way we do business, how we learn and teach, and even it’s changing the way our brains work. We used to mostly learn through individual-based courses and activities. 2) From Passive to Active or Brain-based Learning. Technology, then, becomes a tool for active learning.
