Multitasking

Multitasking i would define as doing two or more of anything at once, but the article more so refers to multitasking as something along the lines of checking your email while checking your facebook. I did not believe that multitasking could actually be maleficent to one's ability to focus, but the more Richtel went on about the negative and long lasting side effects of multitasking the more I started to see how this would cause one's ability to focus on a specific task to diminish in quality.
