The article was about this argument. Is it possible to do more than one task at the same the time? First, the author mentioned to parallel working which means you can do many tasks while the main task is undergoing. The great benefit of that is saving time. Also, he indicated to a very severe and detrimental effect of multitasking, and the most important point of that is interruption. When you do some tasks together, you will start, stop, and move one from task to the other. Finally, he answers the question: we can use multitasking but in a limited way.

In my opinion, I do agree with multitasking for many reasons. First, most people do many tasks at the same time in their daily lives, and that does not affect on their lives. Let's take a class room as an example. the best way ffor student to follow his teacher in the lecture is that listen carefully and writes down notes which will be helpful for him without any consequences. However, I disagree with the following point, when he said multitasking reduces our intelligence. I believe that if I can do many tasks at the same time efficiently, I am smarter than who can do only one task. Moreover, my intelligence will be increased fast because he can control many things at the same time which is considered the highest point of intelligence.
