PBS Frontline Special

Please view this PBS Frontline special before we meet for our final exam. The program lasts about an hour.

From Jefferson Petrey's Google+ post on the program:

"we see MIT students exhibit their 'awesome' multitasking skills while checking email, social networking, working on assignments - in the midst of lectures and classes - and then given a simple retention test - that exhibits these most-capable multitaskers to be profoundly delusional as to the true nature of their capabilities."
