Tech: A research study indicates that it’s difficult to talk and drive at the same time:

A new study, released on Sunday, measured what happened when drivers were sent out into traffic and given a variety of mental tasks to perform. The researchers found that internal distractions — that is, what was going on inside the driver’s head — could impair visual skills while driving as much as external distractions, like a baby crying in the back seat. But they also found big differences in the amount of interference caused by different kinds of mental activities.
