I am talking about finding things that the kids want to buy based on this behavior. Wouldn't it be nice to know about such sites as fmlife.com, liarblog.com, meebo.com, and even myspace before News Corp bought it? A portfolio of 10 of them is likely to spawn a winning investment in one of them.Michael Kahnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10668546349672243203noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7444476276287180978.post-65034414296541364922011-05-09T12:12:37.853-04:002011-05-09T12:12:37.853-04:00I see no value in the multitasking area, leave alo...I see no value in the multitasking area, leave alone meta tasking..I know this is what the kids do, because we have so much of entertainment at our fingertips these days, but does this let them work better and produce more? Psychologists say, and I am paraphrasing, "you must be kidding if you think all this multitasking doesn't have a cost".<br /><br />I see my teenage relatives do the same - flipping between websites and phones and tweets, and playing music, and .. and .. get 23% for Math! Neither suggesting your son would be in this category nor that Math is the be all and end all of life, but the point is that we have become an entertainment driven society that pays no attention to anything for even a moderate length of time. I wonder what sort of workers these teenagers will be when they end up in an office setting.Amalanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12597327887568168370noreply@blogger.com
