"The inability to do more than two things at a time is why we say a person cannot "walk and chew gum."
Jugglers fool with the spectator's perception that they are accomplishing more than one thing at a time. They might have three to seven or more items flying about them in the air, but they are still only doing one thing at a time, catching or tossing a single item. The mirage that they are controlling the chaos in the air around them is an illusion.
Even computers, a speedy as they have become, can only concentrate on one task at a time. They just move from task to task fast enough that perception is they are doing everything at once. Inside the brain of even the fastest computer, one task at a time is decided, then the next.
Jugglers fool with perception that they can accomplish more than two things at a time. They might have three to seven or more items flying about them in the air. However, they are still only doing one thing at a time, catching or tossing a single item. The spectator's attention draws away continually by the chaos from the one task at a time that is actually happening.
Even Time itself only accomplishes one task then the next and so on to infinity. A second must begin and end before passing to the next second. Until some Einstein discovers how to circumvent the passage of Time itself, this law is immutable. One event must be complete before the next event can begin. Physicists linear passage of time the Law of Linearity.
Doing more than one thing at a time is an illusion. Another expression appears when one tries more than they can do at a time, "bit off more than he can chew." Try to accomplish the illusion at a speed beyond ability, the chaos comes crashing down and reveals the illusion’s deceptions. Concentrate on one task at a time, do it well, and move to the next.
Walk and chew gum."
