Modern Art Form 1.2
The multi-tasking Youth of the 21st Century.
With the computer / laptop very much integrated into our lives, and with a recent news article report indicating that 2 in 3 Singaporeans surf the Internet everyday, we use the Net for numerous purposes such as work, play and learn. Like it or not, we simply can't live without each other.
Especially for youths (let's just make it those under the age of 30),
multi-tasking on the computer is like an art form.
We can easily communicate with up to 5-8 people on MSN Messenger, switching from an array of conversation topics effortlessly. We can do this while net-surfing other websites. At the same time, our iTunes / Media Player would be playing hits, we could be having snacks, and concurrently blogging away in some instances.
As the Chinese saying goes: 一心不可二用 (one heart, cannot be used for two purposes), we have done the extraordinary of doing multiple tasks at one go. Well, even during this year's National Rally by PM Lee, i recalled that he did mentioned this special ability that we have acquired in this modern age. Think about it, our minds and bodies are able to spilt up and do multiple work.
Singaporean youths...you are quite amazing!
But...do you realize that you probably can't recall too many handphone numbers, name of friends, amongst other stuffs. Well, that's the so-called side effects of Multi-tasking.
Nothing is perfect in this world, everythings' fair.
