English 202 Hooked on Gagets Response
February 1, 2011
This Article was long but flew by reading it. For me to say that is very rare for i am a slow reader and flat out i just really dislike reading anything. Though this article made me think alot about multitasking. I never really thought about the process of it before and distracting and even addicting it could be. I saw this man almost miss out on millions of dollars more than once for a distraction on his computer that caused him to over look a very important email.
Also the studies on Multitasking with the “Non-multitaskers” and the ” heavy Multitaskers” was very interesting. I was not expecting the heavy taskers to perform worse but indeed they did. I took the rectangle tests my self and i know i am not a multitasker but the fact that i dont multitask i performed slightly better than average like the test studies showed in the article.
I liked this article and found it very relavant to our up coming class disussion. I feel this debate will be a good one wednesday in class. This is a word growing and depending on technology and im interested to see if it becomes an addiction or a social norm.
