Sam Harris speaks with Adam Gazzaley about the way our technology
is changing us. They discuss our limited ability to process
information, our failures of multitasking, "top-down" vs
"bottom-up" attention, self-interruptions and switching costs,
anxiety, boredom, "digital medicine," neuroplasticity, video
games for training the mind, the future of brain-machine
interface, and other topics.
