The Driving Game measures "how your reaction time is affected by external distractions." Studies show drivers overestimate their ability to multitask while driving.

Do you? Find out by playing the game featured in the technology section of the NY Time.
Yeah it's probably better labeled a distraction affect/reaction time test but that just does not sound as fun as playing a driving game.

But let's not quibble about semantics, more fun to quibble about scores. Note I said scores, not something stupidly dangerous & probably illegal   like a contest to see who can send the most texts factoring in accuracy & similar speed distance etc.

Double Note: I'm also making the same "don't even think about blaming me" mumbo jumbo legal CYA statement the NY Times does in the article text and right by by the game itself.   So kindly please do read that before even thinking about attempting a real life test. And if you do & are feeling litigious please sue them not me.   Thanks.


For the paranoid people like out there, here's the direct link so you can cut & paste it (though you really ought to trust someone so thoughtful & who looks innocent, ya know?

Well written, very insightful & thought provoking article. Concise & easy to understand w/o skimping on the nitty-gritty of the neurotransmitters involved.

Record company rhetoric aside, it's the artist's work making their jobs possible. it's incredible that this band has yet to see any of the $ fans paid for THEIR work. Sadly I believe every word of their story. To the band, thx for your honesty, for standing up, yet fighting fair. U inspire me, hope to spread that so others will speak too.

Forgive,

Remember
to forget,
no, nothing yet.
 
Forget
to remember,
no, still nothing yet.
 
Never forget.
Never forgive.
Just let go — Let the balance reset.

Bye-Bye Misery

If misery loves company,
she'll soon be very lonely.

Because I'd rather risk it all and be alone
then spend one more moment bowing at her throne.

Every moment wasted, is an opportunity lost:
Thus any risk taken is worth the cost.
