I read the article on my iPhone, thought you'd enjoy the...not exactly irony but ya know what I mean. I thought it was very interesting that non-multitaskers were better at effectively multitasking (filtering ou unnecessary info etc) than the multitaskers. Also it's sad that Mr.Campbell knows he'll lose service for 221 seconds, he counted? Multiple times, I'm guessing? I mean I'm attached to my phone but I'm not gonna freak if I don't have access for 3 and a half minutes. Very interesting article overall.

It was interesting, although I must admit I didnt get through the whole thing.

That was really interesting. It's crazy to think that years ago we functioned fine without cellphones and computers. I think we would be better off without all of our gadgets. The games were fun.

I must admit I try to multitask more than I actually succeed at it. It's hard to juggle all of the new technology we're able to get our hands on these day. After getting about halfway through the article I decided to log off of skype and turn my phone off for the night.

Very good article and very true. My prior job involved much multitasking and avalanches of email but it did not produce the dopamine for me...I get my fix on my bike.

I also did not read the whole article...with so much to process...I tend to scan articles to get the gist and move on. The article makes me wonder what life would be like if I were to cancel my Internet, cellphone and cable...
