According to Faber, what are the three things that are missing from society? Give an example of how these things are missing from society.
1. Quality: quality is missing in tv parlor shows with no depth / detail. Everything is fast, but books had detail and showed more uncomfortable truths.
2. Leisure: they have "off" hours but no time to enjoy them due to always being busy and fast paced with games, tv, or driving fast.
3. The right to carry out actions learned from the first two: the government is tightly controlled, and no one is allowed to question things in this society.
Madore points out that the new findings are correlational, which means that there is a relationship or connection between them. The memory problems are related to media multitasking, but the study does not show if one causes the other. It is not clear whether media multitasking leads to impaired attention or if people with worse attention and memory are just more likely to be distracted in the first place.
What does this statement indicate?
A. That scientists are sure that multi-tasking relates to worse memory.
B. Scientists believe that there is no correlation between multi-tasking and memory.
C. Scientists are unsure if it is correlation or causation in regards to multi-tasking / memory.
D. The study done has provided scientists with enough evidence to prove the original claim.
