is reading while listening to music,
but in reality, the brain can only focus on
one task. Reading the words in a book will cause you to ignore
some of the
words of the music. When people think they are accomplishing two different
tasks efficiently,
what they are really doing is dividing their focus. While
listening to music, people become less able to focus
on their surroundings. For
example, we all have experience of times when we talk with friends and they
are
not responding properly. Maybe they are listening to someone else talk, or
maybe they are reading a text on
their smart phone and don't hear what you
are saying. Lehman called this phenomenon “email voice"
B. The world has been changed by computers and its spin offs like smart-phones
or cellphones. Now
that most individuals have a personal device, like a smartphone
or a laptop, they are frequently reading,
watching or listening to virtual
information. This raises the occurrence of multitasking in our day to day life.
Now when you work, you work with your typewriter, your cellphone, and some colleagues who may drop
by at any time to speak with you. In professional meetings, when one normally focuses and listens to one
another, people are more likely to have a cell phone in their lap, reading or communicating silently with
more people than ever, liven inventions such as the cordless phone has increased multitasking. In the old
days, a traditional wall phone would ring, and then the housewife would have to stop her activities to answer
it. When it rang, the housewife will sit down with her legs up. and chat, with no laundry or sweeping or
answering the door. In the modern era, our technology is convenient enough to not interrupt our daily tasks.
