“Multitasking is a myth. …What's actually happening in the brain is sequential tasking. …the brain is rapidly shifting …so quickly and seamlessly that you don't really notice… What you end up with is attention that's been fractionated into little… bits and you're not able to actually sustain attention on any one thing. …You're not saving time. You're wasting time.”

“One hundred years from now Beatles songs may be so well known that every child will learn them as nursery rhymes, and most people will have forgotten who wrote them. They will have become sufficiently entrenched in popular culture that it will seem as if they've always existed, like Oh Susannah, This Land Is Your Land, and Frère Jacques.”

“Memory strength is also a function of how much we care about the experience. …If I'm playing an instrument I like, and whose sound pleases me in and of itself… caring leads to attention, and together they lead to measurable neurochemical changes. Dopamine, the neurotransmitter associated with emotional regulation, alertness, and mood, is released, and the dopaminergic system aids in encoding the memory trace.”
