A thought on thoughts, from time

The functions of the brain, while sequentially processing, was something I found very interesting. I lack the biology background, so this information was new to me. The adding of another onion to a recipe, which causes the chef’s mind to toggle to another page of cognition, produced a very eerie understanding of the human mind. I knew exactly how our minds operated because of my limited knowledge of Windows! We all know that the brain is a bio-organic computer, but I never synthesized that tidbit of information with something I knew. In my head I saw the minimization of the chopping onion file and maximizing the one for recipe augmentation.

There is little disagreement that social networking technology is the next step in the evolution of the communication, but could we also be experiencing evolution of the human mind first hand, or at least through our children and grandchildren?

My logic is this: interfacing several different ideas through a computer maybe cause the prefrontal cortex not to atrophy as we mature, causing the white noise of thought to dissipate.

Seeing that there is a newness to this form of cerebral exercise, I see no way to test this idea at this time but in my mind, there remains the possibility.

If there is a flaw in my logic due to a lack of comprehension, I would really like to know.
