Exploration of Samsara, Focus, and Multitasking
The concept of Samsara is artistically represented in the movie Memento where individuals, like the protagonist, need daily systems to remember and make new choices. These systems are akin to the tattoos on the protagonist's body, symbolizing practices to remember. The internet has impacted our ability to maintain focus, as research reveals that multitasking impairs cognitive performance. Multitasking is actually rapid task-switching, where the brain's attention can't focus on two things simultaneously. Those who identify as multitaskers take longer to complete tasks and have poorer cognitive performance compared to those who focus on a single task. Multitasking consumes more cognitive energy and reduces the likelihood of performing well on subsequent difficult tasks.
