How exactly can some people multi-task and others can't?

Question

Some people can talk on the phone, put make up on, and drive at the same time. Why can't everyone do this?

Answer 1

Many people are linear thinkers and they do things in a steady progression. They prefer orderliness. On the other side, mothers for instance literally "have to" learn to juggle many things going on at the same time. Why can't everyone do this? Because of personality traits and characteristics. Or, because their brains are wired differently.

And heaven help us if people are driving while they're talking on the phone and putting their make-up on all at the same time. I guess us linear thinkers had all better get armoured vehicles.

Answer 2

because like everything else, so can and other just can't. btw, like that other guy said, DO NOT drive and do other things, that's just irresponsible.

Answer 3

Uhm, because it's illegal?
