The ability to execute more than one task at the same time, a task being a program. The terms multitasking and multiprocessing are often used interchangeably, although multiprocessing implies that more than one CPU is involved.

in my veiws
Interesting study that caught my eye as soon as I saw the study. One thing I found interesting in your research was the fact that women reported multi-tasking as detrimental to their work. One would think that the stereotype of women being the great multi-taskers would have changed that factor in your research. Another interesting piece of your research was statistic that 93% of students multi-task while working on school work. As an educator, that is a very alarming statistic. One question I have, is do you think that multitasking has any positive effects on the generation? One example I think of is the resilience that students have because of constantly learning how to juggle many different tasks at one time.
