Multitasking is a skill that is built to do multiple things at once. Studies show that our generation today are horrible at multitasking when it comes to focusing on important things; such as a teacher presenting or teaching their class. As I read the article on "How Does Multitasking Change
The Way Kids Learn?" it states, children of this generation distract themselves with watching TV and paying attention to their phones while doing work. It is stated, students lose focus on what their mind should know is important. As a college student myself, I would say multitasking is not one of my greatest skills. As a student, I must have music or the TV playing in the background while I am studying or doing homework. The only reason for the background noise, is because I personally hate listening to the sound of my own voice and will get tired to continue my work. Being a student while in class; yes, I must stay focused on the board and what the teacher is stating because I feel as though I wont be able to understand the class or lose notes. I would say my personality is focused when it comes to working on the importance, pertaining my future. I tend to block everything out and focus on the one thing that is in front of me, or is important. With this being said, I have taken a test on multitasking and scoring a 36 percent shows I can not multitask. I believe focusing on one thing at a time is best because you can perfect what your doing and get it right at once.
It also shows, it different when multitasking from watching TV and texting because you can stop paying attention for a second and not really miss anything. Although when doing something one at a time, you are able to comprehend on what your doing.
