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."
Aint the New Economy wonderful!?
Because people no longer talk to each other about politics much, the only political thoughts that cross their minds are the ones they hear in the car listening to talk radio and the ones they hear on teevee. And guess who control those political thoughts? The Man, the corporations, The Massa. And so not surprisingly the political ideas we get from those sources support the wonderful new "multitasking workplace". Gee, I wonder why?
Hey, didn't I hear President Bush talk about this "Economy of Today" during his convention nomination acceptance speech?
