1. WHAT WAS THE SPEAKER’S PROJECT/IDEA?

 Bored and brilliant: The lost art of spacing out.

2. HOW DID THE SPEAKER COME UP WITH THE IDEA?

 Her ideas come up from different people who extremely use mobile phones. In
the everyday life and it is not healthy for them to continue that kind of
experience. Because many individuals are worried that their relationship with
their phone had increase kind of codependent, a behavioral action that enables
persons addiction, poor mental health or under achievement.

3. WAS HER PROJECT INFORMATIVE? LIST DOWN ALL THE INFORMATION YOU LEARNED
FROM HER TED TALK?

 Yes. When you do the challenge, it can help make your day productive and
creative because you have more time to think not for yourself but for the
important things. Plus you can change your lifestyle by doing the things that
make you empowered and ambitious.

4. HOW FREQUENTLY DO YOU SEE YOUR PHONE? CAN YOU SEE YOURSLEF DOING THE
SPEAKER’S CHALLENGE? WHY?

 I used it all day to browse social media such as Facebook, Twitter, listening to
music, watching videos, doing homework or projects and read some stories in
my phone. I can’t see myself doing her challenge because every minutes or hours
there is updates from different sites that I want to read, announcements from
different organization or group projects that I need to accomplish immediately.
5. WHAT ARE THE POSSIBLE IMPLICATIONS OF MULTITASKING? DO WE FINISH MORE, OR
DO WE COMPLETE TASK THAN FOCUSING ON ONE TASK AT A TIME?

 No, because according to Dr. Daniel Levitin, “ Every time you shift your attention
from one thing to another, the brain has to engage a neurochemical switch that
uses up nutrients in the brain to accomplish that. If you do multitask your brain
doesn’t work because we have a limited supply of glucose.

6. According to the Search engineer at Google m, why is the technology built to trigger
social media users an it any if they are not with their phones.

 According to Tristan Harris, there are million places to spend your attention but
there’s a war going on to get it because of Facebook, Snapchat and other social
medias. You can’t avoid using them.
