(Discussion) Do you know this situation when you do many things at once like chatting on the internet while you write a report for work while you are listening to music allthough you are watching your favorite series on tv (of course without the voice turned on)?

Well technologist Linda Stone calls these “continuous partial attention“ situations, “disease of the Internet age“ and in my opinion she is right.

But at first some points against the statement.

We become a very fast moving society and therefore we had to do much more things at once to be still efficient.

That could make us more successful in our life.

To give an axample, we can use a bluetooth headset to finish important discussions with our boss while driving to work.

And another adding point is our need for freetime activities and resting moments but because of the full schedule there is not much time left but we can mix freetime and work for example we can tourn on our favorite music additionaly to the last stuation in the car.

So it seams like we are able to be more producitve, right ?

Well, I don't think so in general.

Maybe it would work for a short time but as longer as you do that as faster you become ill as a consequence.

And according to my point of view i would take this disease very serious you can develope real symtoms, psychologically as well as physically.

Therefore it is important to take time to rest without electrical devices, thats a first step to avoid the burnout syndrom and similar problems many multitascing people are going to get these days.

To sum up, in my mind we have to deal with a completly new kind of Illnes in our new age of the interent that we shouldn't underestimate.

So trust Linda Stones words and go out side, maybe you will even make knew reallife friends.
