And men have even more difficulties multi-tasking. For example, it's extremely hard to watch a football game and hear the wife/girlfriend/parents at the same time.

But this is not a "bug" in our system, it's a feature. We can concentrate more than women.

Back to topic, I agree that instant brain dump may be very useful for many things, but not for leisure reading. One thing is to enjoy the journey, another is to recall/remember it.

About virtual models reading stories for us... Would they have to create a special model that could read properly?

When I was first married, I listened to my wife since I was the only one there that she talked to. Then we got a dog & she talked to the dog. The we had a kid & she talked to the dog & the kid. Then she started talking to the TV, Then she started talking to herself. Now-a-days, when she's talking she most often is not talking to me so I rarely listen to her.

Actually, it's easy. You just have to want to...

The question is: Would you really care?

When watching the game, we don't want to pay attention to the wife or GF. We can. Just most time when she has to bother us during the game it's to complain about something. So why bother to pay attention?
