Once I tried to brush my teeth and take a piss at the same time. After that the whole bathroom was wet. It seems I´m not that talented in multi tasking.

People can multitask we put a intel core processor i17 in our head and behold, you can surf YouTube, writhing shakespeare poems, and reciting the us constitution. You it's not a myth with a chip in the head.

@Aydrianlol The problem is that when do you consider a things or group of things a task?

For example, playing multiple notes in a piano is one or multiple tasks?

Playing a song on a guitar and singing the same song would be the same task.

a second thought ,singing whilst druming is not possible. Try to drum and sing a piece of music that you never know, and you will see how hard that is. The point of multi tasking is a concept on facing two new ideas at the same time. Muscle memory is another thing.

[Llucius1]

playing instrument and singing is actually following the same tempo. The above multitasking is about thinking two different set of ideas sitmutaneously. If anyone can multi task, he can play play continously game like driving game whilst memorizing his textbook.
