Too Much At One Time!

     Multi-Tasking is an art or a talent that comes from practice. I know the newer generations are upcoming multi-taskers because of the new digital era that has swept upon us. I was given the title of multi-tasker by the Pop Studio quiz. I received a 76 multi-tasking score, which did just meet the standard. I am not surprised since I have always been able to do a bunch of projects, homework, or interactions all at the same time. I usually am juggling my job as a Peer Mentor, running a club, hanging out with friends, and homework all at the same time.

     Our generation is going to be upcoming multi-taskers because of how kids do their homework around TV’s or some type of music. Also, kids are beginning to get used to texting, calling, talking, watching television, and typing on the computer all at the same time. Focusing has been a big problem noticed as well in kids. Their minds are constantly bouncing around and all over the place. As a babysitter, I have noticed the lack of concentration and easy boredom of a child. I could play with my Barbie dolls for hours and be perfectly content. The newer generations play with their video game, dolls, or each other and become bored in a matter of minutes. The health hazard of kids developing ADD has been the upcoming question. I feel that kids need to learn to focus and muti-task at the same time. I am a calm multi-tasker and it takes a good amount of work to make me feel overwhelmed. I think maybe if kids did have a period of time in the day where they slowed down with all the digital technology and read a book, they might be a tad bit calmer.
