The Downside of 'Hypertasking'
Combuchan writes "An interesting article from AZ Central expounds upon the downside of 'hypertasking,' doing far too much at once, such as talking on the phone while doing office work at the Starbuck's has a whole host of negative side effects: irritability, impatience, sleeplessness, an overly extended workweek, and is largely unproductive. With wi-fi hotspots popping up everywhere and computing power shrinking, are we all doomed? Or, as the article indicates, it's possibily evolution of the mind at work."
Bush is like Hitler!
See, that gets both the Slashdot and original versions at once!
As a liberal who loathes Bush, I have to say that while the Dark Lord does show some disturbingly dictatorial tendencies, I haven't seen him try to eliminate all opposing parties or build death camps for Arabs yet.
Well, history doesn't repeat itself _exactly_, it's variations on a theme. Don't forget that these days rather than eliminating opposition, a puppet opposition is used. Republicrat, Demopublican. The One Party feigns division and keeps the plebs fighting eachother. Divide and conquer.
