1. this essay first described how every member of family multitasking in their daily life. Then it talks about that people pay their almost all attention on the social media or other internet staff instead of communicating with others face to face. It also used a some evidence to show how multitasking influent people's psychological implications.
2. Actually multitasking is a very common word in our daily life now. It happens in the most time of my day. I listen music when I drive and watch TV when I eating. Those two examples are two tiny cases of my multitasking life. When I read this essay, I am impressed about the author's thorough analyze of multitasking. I learned a new word, generation M, through this essay. I also learned that actually we can't not use our brain to think about two things at same time. Multitasking means we do it in order but our brain is keeping switching between those tasks. Also, this essay talks about the influence of the common phenomenon that people more and more focus on social media instead of human connection and physical communications.
3. There is an assumptions in this essay provided in Wallis's essay:Multitasking would influence the value of a task. This assumption think that multitasking would decrease the quality of tasks even when people finish it. For example, the knowledge people get after they read a book. People would get more clear knowledge from this book when they just focusing on reading than they multitasks. So he said multitasking would decrease the value of thinking deeply. I agree with her opinion. I think people can do some unimportant things or some easy thing people could finish without thinking at same time. However, for those important thing, people need to focus on them, then people could get the satisfied value from it. I have a strong feeling when I do my coding homework. Coding homework requires a strong logic. When I really focus on it, I would get the result step by step easily. However, I have to recall after some thing disturbed me. It wasted my time. Even worse, I lost my original correct thoughts after the influence.
