Amy Harding on 06 Mar 13This video is 90 minutes long. However, if you open the link, the video is separated by nine chapters. You can put your cursor on the bottom of the video and see each of the chapters and the topic. Find at least one chapter of interest to you and watch it. Each chapter tells you how long it is after you start it.

Phil Kemp on 23 Mar 13What I found most interesting in this video was the research being conducted regarding students who multitask, and their perceived ability of doing it well. In fact, as the experiments and testing show, the researchers are proving just the opposite. The younger generation that believe they are multitasking well are only able to work in small chunks, and their work tends to show this. Students are unable to carry out long tasks, they get bored, and they put together papers in sections which directly correlates to their on and off study habits. I also found myself relating to the discussion of needing to satisfy a thought at the moment it pops, and change from doing one thing say, watching the video, into another, listening to the video, and looking at the photographs I took today. In either case, not accomplishing either with the same effectiveness that I would have had I completed them one at a time. The internet, and multiple monitors, helps feed this addiction.
