The Autumn of the Multitaskers

Quote:
November 2007 Atlantic Monthly
Neuroscience is confirming what we all suspect: Multitasking is dumbing us down and driving us crazy. One man’s odyssey through the nightmare of infinite connectivity

Interesting piece on the effects of multitasking on our brains...

Yes it is way more efficient to do one thing at a time. Less likely to make mistakes and have to do the whole thing over again. Of course employers could care less and measure efficiency more on speed than the quality of work. This is my main pet peeve about capitalism.
