  • I think the term multi-tasking is a euphemism—a way to put a positive spin on learning to tolerate a work-style of constant interruption. No one would choose to be jerked randomly off task again and again until you have half a dozen things you’re trying to get done, all at the same time.
  • The difference between talking on your cell phone while driving and speaking with a passenger is huge. The passenger is aware of your driving environment and tailors his or her conversation accordingly. The person on the other end of the cell phone is chattering away, oblivious.
