The author effectively draws a comparison between the catastrophic consequences of distraction in the 1972 plane crash and the more subtle, but still significant, effects of distractions we encounter in our daily lives.
The references to neuroscience findings support the notion that we're not truly capable of multitasking, but rather, we're merely switching between tasks with detrimental impacts on efficiency and accuracy. This point is critical for our modern society that often prides itself on multitasking abilities.
I also appreciate the writer's emphasis on mindfulness and the importance of intentional interactions with our digital devices. Their suggestions for taking control of notifications, defining what is truly urgent, and setting boundaries for digital communication resonates with the increasing need for digital wellbeing in this technology-driven age.
