NatGeo's new Brain Games! series did a great show about the human brain's limit on paying attention. Just saw it last night. They did a great piece on a guy who thought he was a super multi-tasker but failed the driving / multitasking test. It's a great testament to how dangerous it is for us to be on the cell phones while driving. Our brains are not wired for that and that's why there are so many accidents caused by distracted drivers. This is the second half of the piece, check it out and please do NOT drive distracted!
