Processing speed and capacity: because who needs subtlety, anyway?
Here's a breakdown of your brain's processing speed:
| Task | Time Spent | Cognitive Load (in Brain Units) |
|---|---|---|
| Scrolling through social media | 2 hours 14 minutes 32 seconds | 427,000 BUs |
| Playing video games | 1 hour 2 minutes 14 seconds | 235,000 BUs |
| Solving world hunger | 0 minutes 0 seconds (you're not even close) | 0 BUs (you're not even close) |
Don't worry, it's all relative. And, honestly, you're probably not going to be a brain surgeon anytime soon.
