La multitarea es una tarea esencia en la era del email, los SMS, Facebook y Twitter. Pero, según el neurocientífico Daniel J Levitin, nos está haciendo menos eficiente.
In the old days, if the phone rang and we were busy, we either didn’t answer or we turned the ringer off. When all phones were wired to a wall, there was no expectation of being able to reach us at all times – one might have gone out for a walk or been between places – and so if someone couldn’t reach you (or you didn’t feel like being reached), it was considered normal. Now more people have mobile phones than have toilets. This has created an implicit expectation that you should be able to reach someone when it is convenient for you, regardless of whether it is convenient for them. This expectation is so ingrained that people in meetings routinely answer their mobile phones to say, “I’m sorry, I can’t talk now, I’m in a meeting.” Just a decade or two ago, those same people would have let a landline on their desk go unanswered during a meeting, so different were the expectations for reachability.
El e-mail ya se ha quedado obsoleto. Con el e-mail por lo menos le dedicabas media hora por las mañanas a contestar los correos. Ahora esta todo el mundo con el puñetero Wasap a todas horas y se enfadan si no les contestas en menos de 10 minutos.

Pues a mi esto me parece bastante cierto.
Que pesadez con estos "estudios" y artículos que en realidad no dicen nada.

Hombre, el mundo moderno tiene cosas buenas, como por ejemplo, así al azar, el porno en internet.
