to the world of multitaskinga place where the measure of a person is how many jobs they can perform at the same time.in fact,if experts are to be believed,multitasking is a disastrous idea.one of the opponents of multitasking is dr. clifford nass,a professor at stanford university.“people who multitask frequently are less able to pay attention;theyre worse at managing their memory,”he said.in his opinion,the loss that we get with multitasking is harmless in some situations,for example,part of doing business in the digital world;but you cant do serious work like writing,thinking or solving an important problem this way.you do worse even as you think youre doing better.all the time the research points to a simple fact:the brain cannot cope.when you stop midway through composing a report to check an email,you force your brain to stop and regroup.it is like pressing the pause button during a movie,meaning the film takes longer to watch.and as for dr. nass,the problems extend beyond the brain.young people who frequently multitask are not as socially and emotionally healthy as those who dont.they just feel more emotionally satisfied and the feeling is so good and they are bound to desire it again.todd oppenheimer,a writer said,“weve become a very short-term society and dont reward people for taking a lot of time on something.”he fears we may end up losing the next generation of
