does information overload affect my memory

I can’t remember who was talking to me about this; twaz dcox yesterday!

from IT@INTEL Blog

• The brain can’t just switch back and forth instantly. It takes time to regain its focus after the interrupt is over. Interrupted tasks suffer, by some estimates, a 20-40% efficiency loss in time to complete when compared to uninterrupted tasks. (Assume, conservatively, that these “switching costs” come to a minute per interrupt – and with an interrupt every few minutes, do the math!)
• The endless interruptions dumb you down. HP reported research they’ve sponsored in the UK which showed that the IQ scores of information workers subjected to distracting alerts are reduced by 10 points, twice the reduction observed in people smoking marijuana…
• The ubiquity of interrupting devices means that people can no longer engage in long stretches of “thinking time”. This is alarming, because many kinds of creative work – inventing, problem solving, authoring, etc – require hours of concentration to be done really well.

I got the train to Cork and back. 35 people were on the train down, a shocker! only 35 paying passengers (maybe some OAPs) the count was by CIE staff. Flying above me on low fares those time stressed travelers of security check in.

I wrote up 10 A4 pages in pencil, ten pages of thought in comfort and got a days work done too. Where are those software agents we were promised to sift through our data before we had to. ???

less RTFM more KISS

before I woke this morning, pauline was blogging here. before christmas was over vanessa was ‘podcasting’ / recording her sisters views on doctor who for playback. brother kevin got 80’s video up on youtube; is my nerdiness rubbing off? i think not, i think the tools of communication and content are so easy now, they make computing look difficult. The broswer allows PCs to become nodes that never shut down (good for the climate change / bad for the ice caps) and the VOIP phone is becoming standard (ok its a long way off) but the technophobes will use it and will never know what VOIP is when asked at a pub quiz. you see they never cared to know what PSTN was or a coil microphone or the voltage of the telephone service, they USED it, it did things. for computing to get wider family adoption it must do things with out a RTFM or night classes…. KISS keep it simple stupid.
