Opinion: Multitasking in Modern Times

Multitasking has been around for a very long time.  This is not a new trend or phenomenon.  However, with the introduction of improved technologies, computers, phones, televisions, tablets, digital media, radios and everything else pertinent to that particular sphere, it has become much easier to multitask and ultimately “get away with it” . . . 



I believe that anything worthwhile deserves our full attention.  I believe that anything that might be dangerous (like driving or crossing the street) also deserves our full attention.  Manners, etiquette and the always fashionable ‘common sense’ are required when multitasking.  Unfortunately, these fine terms, traits or practices of “yesteryear” that used to hold some weight or meaning are slipping into the vacuum that speeds on toward an abyss of absolute nothingness.


In reality, multitasking is a part of modern life and it has many benefits.  Still, there is a ‘time and a place for everything’ . . . . this certainly applies to multitasking.  Of course, this all relates to common sense, manners and/or etiquette.  If you, dear reader, possess any of these attributes . . . . . . . well, then you probably know exactly what I am driving at . . .
