Don’t we love the way ArtDaily photographs works of art semi-obscured by people – owners, viewers, fuzzy passers-by, royal visitors – all to avoid the problem of copyright!

People who zip between iPods, emails, texting, Twitter and cellphone conversations are slower than their less electrified counterparts in one important area – their thinking, researchers say.
In particular, multi-taskers who bristle with gadgetry are significantly poorer at filtering out irrelevant information coming at them and organizing the useful data they do take in, a Stanford University study of 262 students suggests.
And people who flit between multiple electronic and print media are slower at switching between tasks – or multi-tasking – than others, says study co-author Clifford Nass.
“If you take the cognitive skills one would need to be a multi-tasker, they’re worse at all of them,” says Nass, a Stanford social psychologist. “The differences are very, very large and significant … the differences in the way their brains work are clear.”
The study was published yesterday in the journal Proceedings of The National Academy of Sciences.
