Are we being rewired by tech?; How the digital world is changing our behaviour.


  Kendall was explaining that the digital world is changing our way of life.  For example there was a big difference between heavily multitaskers and light multitaskers. It showed that the heavily multitaskers easily got distracted and less able to maintain their concentration. The internet encourages procrastination. Piers Steel a professor of phycology at the University of Calgary, did a research on people admitting that they procrastinate. In 1978 the average procrastination rate was 15 percent and today studies show it is at 60 percent. The probability of showing how it raised could most likely tie into social media and the use of smartphones.
