Dr_Ken's Journal: Multi-Taskers Brains Aren't Working Right...

From the SF Chronicle Technology Blog in re research on "multi-tasking" @ work.

"When they're in situations where there are multiple sources of information coming from the external world or emerging out of memory, they're not able to filter out what's not relevant to their current goal. That failure to filter means they're slowed down by that irrelevant information."

It only seems that multi-taskers are better although many of them appear to get more done in a day than everybody else does. Hmmmm....
