It’s a wonder we ever get anything done. It’s not a problem if you’re doing one thing at a time. But you can’t work on one thing when you have to learn how to multitask if you ever expect to keep up with the modernized Jones family next door. Multitasking is like when you drive a car, talk on a phone, eat french fries with ketchup, drink a Slurpee, smoke a cigarette and fumble with the stereo knob all at the same time.
The Jones family tries to keep a step ahead of everybody on our street, Hi-Tech Heights Boulevard. It’s because Ralph Jones blogs daily, updates his Web site weekly and sends out Blackberry alerts about every hour. It took me four years to gain a vague understanding of what cyberspace is and where it was, and now they say I’m archaic unless involved in the blogosphere.
