Intel information has risen by 1600%, drone opeators usually run several open communication channels simultaneoulsy, stare at the screens, and make judgements - all at the same time. But the skill of multitasking is not matched by the capability to prioritize and keep a concentrated focus on an important single issue for long time, the multitasking generation here has deficits that the military has not forseen. This can - and does - lead to critical data overload, misjudgements, and the death of people. The military is struggling to adress this problem.
