I am not convinced. Sorry. It is true that I am actually switchtasking and focusing on one thing after another but I don't see that as something bad, just something necessary. Life doesn't often slow down enough for me to truly give all of my attention to a single task. And Jonathan almost always makes the loudest noise and gets the most attention. You are very right about that. I read the article. I am not convinced. Sorry.

I have at least six programs running in my multi-tasking tray, but I'm only really concentrating on one at a time. Multi-tasking doesn't really happen. Now, if there was anyone who could truly multi-task it would be you guys! But, my guess is somethings become background noise as you focus on another - that which makes the loudest noise is what has your attention for the moment. I still think multi-tasking is a myth.

Have you ever been to the Addison home? Now, in all fairness, I haven't read your post yet. Since I'm sick in bed, I have some time right now! Can't wait! I agree with Karyn.

(I was going to say they might blow up the house, they wouldn't, but the Skittles are in serious danger!)
