31. <구문 1>The concept of humans doing multiple
things at a time has been studied by psychologists
since the 1920s, but the term “multitasking” didn’t
exist until the 1960s. It was used to describe computers,
not people. Back then, ten megahertz was so fast that a new
word was needed to describe a computer’s ability to quickly
perform many tasks. In retrospect, they probably made a
poor choice, for the expression “multitasking” is inherently
deceptive. <구문 2>Multitasking is about multiple tasks
alternately sharing one resource (the CPU), but in
time
the
context
was
flipped
and
it
became
interpreted to mean multiple tasks being done
simultaneously by one resource (a person). It was a
clever turn of phrase that’s misleading, for even computers
can process only one piece of code at a time. When
they “multitask,” they switch back and forth, alternating their
attention until both tasks are done. The speed with which
computers tackle multiple tasks that everything happens at
the same time, so comparing computers to humans can be
confusing. [3점]

According to a renowned French scholar, the growth in the
size and complexity of human populations was the driving
force in the evolution of science. Early, small communities
had to concentrate all their physical and mental effort on
survival;their thoughts were focused on food and religion. As
communities became larger, some people had time to reflect
and debate. They found that they could understand and
predict events better if they reduced passion and prejudice,
replacing these with observation and inference. But while a
large population may have been necessary, in itself it was
not sufficient for science to germinate. <구문 3>Some
empires were big, but the rigid social control required
to hold an empire together was not beneficial to
science, just as it was not beneficial to reason. The
early nurturing and later flowering of science to support
original thought and freewheeling incentive. The rise in
commerce and the decline of authoritarian religion allowed
science to follow reason in seventeenth-century Europe.
