We all experienced multi-tasking before like singing when having a shower bath. Actually, multi-tasking is not anything new or related to digital phenomenon. Even without computer, we still have multi-tasking every day. At the beginning of the lesson, Christoph asked a few questions about whether multi-tasking is inefficient or stressful. For me, I feel that multi-tasking when doing the assignment is really inefficient. But it is sad that I can’t help myself to concentrate on doing the assignment only when using the computer. I keep checking the Facebook updates frequently even though there are not much updates at all. Besides, I chat with my friends on MSN. These totally hinder my assignment progress. It really makes me feel that is so inefficient. But the fact is that I just can’t control myself to put all the attention to do the assignment only. Quite often I feel frustrated about my inefficiency as I have to spend the whole day to sit in front of the computer and do the assignment that originally can be finished in a few hours.
Hehehe... you are exactly like me. I think one reason is because we don't know how to prioritise our things. We have so many things have to be done in one day and we only have 24 hours a day. We go back and forth between important and less important things which weaken our concentration. However, it might not always be a problem. For instance, I need music to put me sleep or help me to concentrate on study. Being able to multi task can be a tool for me to do things more effectively.
ReplyDeleteHaha!! I think many people are like you, including me!!! Multi-tasking is inefficicent if we are doing assignments while checking Facebook or playing games. :P However, I think Multi-tasking is efficient if we are doing assignments while checking the words in an online dictionary. :D What do you think?
