問題詳情:
The ability to do several things at once has become one of the great measures of self-worth for century Americans. It is called multitasking, and it takes many forms. As one example, why go out to lunch when you can eat at your desk, talk to a customer on the phone, look through your e-mail, and scan a report at the same time? And why simply work out on treadmill(單調的工作) when you could be watching TV and talking on a portable phone at the same time? What a feeling of satisfaction and accomplishment-three activities for the time commitment of one! Ah, such efficiency. No wonder those who turn “to do” lists into a time-management art form like to boast(吹噓), “Look, me, how many things I can accomplish at once. If I’m busy, I must be important.”
Yet last week the New York Assembly stuck a blow against multitasking, at least at driving, when it approved a bill banning drivers in the state from using cellphones. “Too dangerous!” the assembly said, with researches showing that drivers are four times more likely to have collision when they are talking on the cellphones.
No one can argue against using time effectively. But accompanying the supposed gains are losses. Consider the woman out for an early-morning walk in a suburban neighborhood. She walks happily. Head down, cellphone to ear, chattering away, oblivious of the birds and flowers and glorious sunshine. Did the walk have any value?
More than a decade ago, long before multitasking became a word in everyday use, a retired professor in Indiana with whom I corresponded said what might be called uni-tasking-the old-fashioned practice of doing one thing at a time. Offering the simplest example, he said, “When you wash the dishes, wash the dishes” Good advice, I’ve found, whatever the task is.
