1. What was the speaker's project/idea?

It is about 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.

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 frequent do you use your phone? Can you see yourself doing the speaker's challenge?

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 multi-tasking? Do we finish more or do we finish less tasks
than focusing on one (1) 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 multi-task your brain doesn't work because we
have a limited supply of glucose.

6. According to the search engineer at Google, why is technology built to trigger social media users an
itchy feeling if they are not with their phones?

According to Tristan Harris, there are a 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. For example when you want to
go out but you end up browsing your phone all day because of the trending topic in the internet.
