- 5. What is Multi-tasking ? The ability to execute more than one task at the same time, a task being a program. Multitasking is processing multiple tasks at one time. For example, when you see someone in the car next to you eating a burrito, taking on his cell phone, and trying to drive at the same, that person is multitasking. © 2006 Prentice Hall 4-5
- 6. Multi-Tasking Among Youth © 2006 Prentice Hall 4-6 When they are a young person’s primary activity, TV and videogames are the least multitasked media, while reading and computer activities such as instant messaging, computer games and looking at websites are the most multitasked. Nearly two-thirds of the time young people spend reading, playing computer games or looking at websites, they are also doing something else at the same time (“overall” multitasking — primarily eating, doing chores, talking on the phone, doing homework, or using another media). But the same is true less than half the time they’re watching TV (45%) or playing videogames(45%).Indeed, young people are more likely to focus theirattention exclusively on TV than on reading: 55% of the time they’re watching TV as their primary activity, they’re doing nothing else; compared to only 38% of the time they’re reading as their primary activity

In a typical week, eight in ten (81%) young people spend some of their media time using more than one medium at a time (“media multitasking”), such as reading a magazine while watching TV, listening to music while playing a videogame, and so on. On the other hand, nearly one in five (19%) young people don’t media multitask at all over the course of a typical week. Those young people who do media multitask spend an average of 26% of their media time using more than one medium at a time. Young people are most likely to use multiple media together when they’re instant messaging (74%), surfing the Internet (74%) or playing computer games (67%); they’re least likely to do so when watching TV (17% of the time).

Editor's Notes
- #6: Cultural noise occurs in intercultural communication because the message intended by the sender (encoder) was transformed by the cultural lens of the receiver (decoder). This process of transformation is do in part to attribution.
- #7: The term communication describes the process of sharing meaning by transmitting messages through media such as words, behavior, or material artifacts. It is of vital importance, then, for a receiver to interpret the meaning of a particular communication in the way the sender intended. Unfortunately, the communication process involves stages during which meaning can be distorted. Anything that serves to undermine the communication of the intended meaning is typically referred to as noise . The primary cause of noise stems from the fact that the sender and the receiver each exist in a unique, private world thought of as her or his life space. The context of that private world, based largely on culture, experience, relations, values, and so forth, determines the interpretation of meaning in communication. After the receiver interprets the message and draws a conclusion about what the sender meant, he or she will, in most cases, encode and send back a response, making communication a circular process.
