We call those high multitaskers ... who are constantly using many things at one time when it comes to media. So let's say they're doing e-mail while they're chatting, while they're on Facebook, while they're reading Web sites, while they're doing all these other things. And low multitaskers are people who really are more one-at-a-time people. When they're texting, they're texting. When they're reading a Web site, they're reading a Web site. So those are the low multitaskers.
