Persuasive Speech On Multitasking

Ring…Ring….Ring….Focus, please! Let’s play a game. I want you to make a sunny-side up egg, compose an email for your boss, solve a basic math Allegra, and mix one cup of vegetables juice in five minutes and thirty seconds. How does it sound? Fun, isn’t it? Here is the result. If you can finish all tasks in five minutes, congratulation, you belong to the 2% of the population who has the perfect gift of super multitasking, and thanks to your parent for passing to you this unique gene, according to MD. Sanjay Gupta. However, if you cannot even finish one task in the game, that is okay. You belong to the rest of the population. The good new is that this group is much bigger comparing with the other. Beside, many studies have showed that multitasking

Researchers at the University of London had tried several experiments on the participants who multitasked during cognitive tasks and found out that their IQ decreased as if they have had smoked marijuana or stayed up all night long. Stanford University analysts also say that even the idea of attempting to multitasking may damage the control of cogitation. “ Everything distracts them.”, said Professor Clifford Nass whose studies are publicized in the edition of the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences in 24 August. He and his colleagues did experiments on their volunteer students at Stanford and show that people have put themselves under mental problem by performing extreme multitasking. They force their brains to process too much information and data at once while social scientists have believed that it is impossible for the brain to proceeding more than one line of information at a time. “Never in history has the human brain been asked to track so many date points,” Dr. Edward Hallowell argued. In addition, we are “ constantly scanning for opportunities and staying on top of contacts, events and activities in an effort to miss nothing.”, said Linda Stone who is one of the Harvard Business Review’s “ Breakthrough Ideas” in

Psychologist Dr Dongning Ren of the Chinese Academy of Sciences found out his studies result related to the researches of Dr Gijsbert Stoet, co-author of the University of Slasgow, and Prof Keith Laws, co-author of the University of Hertfordshire. These researches indicated that under a stressed and complicated situation, women were more efficient to solve problem while men took longer and made more mistakes when both genders were in the examination. The scientists think that women are good at multiple tasks by nature. “Put simple – if women couldn’t multitask, we wouldn’t be here.” Said Dr Stoet. Although there are hundred of studies has showed that multitasking is not productive and can harm human brain, there is one new research was announced recently by the younger generation in Portland, Oregon that can change your mind about multitasking. The students in Portland had analyzed over 400 juveniles and found out “though most teens perform better when focusing on a single task, those who are “ high media multitaskers” –about 15% of the study participants-performed better when working with the distraction of email and music than when focusing on a single activity.” This study result was against most of the researches that had proved by the well-known scientists and psychologists. However, this research studied only at
