This short film is very well put together.

I do not agree with everything that is portrayed in this film. We should all make up our own minds by studying history and understanding the events that shaped Iran the way it is today.

It’s easy to do two things at the same time, as long as one of those actions is a practiced skill that you can do almost automatically. For example, walking and talking is easy.

Interesting article about the brain.
