Today, multitasking is the hype. If you can't multitask you will be left out. Worst, you'll not get the job you wanted or not given a chance to stay with the company you are working in. The competition is high, especially now that the population is getting bigger each day(which reminds me that our family had an additional member, a new baby girl), anyway moving on, bigger population, greater number of workforce but less accommodation for jobs. Most businesses were after the profit/profiteering and less workers were being employed for a task that can be done by more than one person. That's why, there evolved many advanced technologies that can help people do their tasks in a minute or two. People today do things in haste so they can attend to their other tasks. If we are going to look at it deeper, we can say that multitasking is exhausting though helpful.
Yes, multitasking is great, it pumps our adrenalin but have we paused for a while to ask ourselves what this era of multitasking had brought us?
Life as we know is a series of ups and downs. We try to compensate our losses with blessings seeking the ultimate equilibrium. We do a lot of balancing, we do our tasks in perfection as much as possible. We do things in a slow paced motion, we always care to think things over. That was then, at least in my belief.
Multitasking brought us new kind of idealism. Giving us(people) the 'power' to do more things. Little did we know that due to this, our way of life also changed. Yeah, "the only constant thing in this world is change" (such a cliche noh?..hehe!) but I want change that leads to betterment of life (maybe you too).
In my observation, multitasking can also be associated with those people who are multitasking with their relationships with the special person of their lives(bato-bato sa langit ang tamaan pasensya na lang). Okay, we do multitask with our relationships with friends, families and our special someone. Giving quality time for everybody as much as possible. Quite tiring huh?! but we must also admit that it gives us happiness. Though there were also times when we cannot fulfill our tasks due to the fact that we only have one body, twenty-four hours a day, opppsss! make that nineteen waking hours at least but we have many people to stay connected with, right? we have to make them feel that they are still parts of our lives.
That was another issue. I believe, multitasking with friends and families were a given in this life, for us to cope with it. We need them to back us up and lift us when we are down. But, what about those engaging in more than one romantic relationship. I mean, those who enjoy having many "lovers"? Does multitasking still work here? Can a person give his/her best for those who s/he is involved with. Here in this kind of scenario, where sanctity of relationship matters to me, it will never be the same. Just like working in haste due to multitasking which gives less quality, the quality time given to that special someone will be less too.
Anyway, that was just my two cents over there. Just an opinionated write-up.
