Guess What? You Can't Multitask Well

The weblog Creating Passionate Users asks if "Multitasking Makes Us Stupid?" And concludes, "Yes."

We believe we can e-mail and talk on the phone at the same time, with little or no degradation of either communication.

We believe we can do homework while watching a movie.

We believe we can surf the web while talking to our kids/spouse/lover/co-worker.

But we can't! (Not without a hit on every level--time, quality, and the ability to think deeply)
