Multitasking is dumbing down the human race. When we multi-task it takes our focus back and forth between tasks and we never place our focus on one thing. There are so many distractions these days such as: Facebook, Texting, Google (search engines), Ipods, etc. I think that these distractions have good and bad consequences.
Bad: distracts us from daily tasks like driving (can be cause of accidents), school (resulting in less studying and a drop in class marks), and work (motivation & production). These electronics are making us very anti-social with the rest of society, instead of talking and hanging out with each other we sit at our own homes and text back and forth, reducing social contact.
Good: connects us to people all across the world, provides us with quick access to information, gives us instant responses from family and friends, etc.
Todays generations are "hooked on tronics" !
This Song by Paul Brandt is a different look at how electronics and technology has impacted our lives.
