Metatasking vs. Multitasking

摘要

During a recent episode of National Public Radio's The Infinite Mind, I was a little surprised to hear experts speak out against "multitasking" and its tendency to decrease quality and, in some cases, produce disastrous, even fatal consequences, such as car accidents. It seems to me we're inundated with the opposite message these days: multitasking is just the way it is; technology has made it so, and Millennial love to do it. Of course, it's also said Millennials have short attention spans because of it.
