Taking Multi-tasking To A New Level!
We’ve all seen it and may be guilty of it ourselves on occassion. Afterall, cell phone’s are everywhere these days, and you are bound to see them used in some strange places such as; at the gym, (person talking while on the treadmill), at a restaurant, (person eating and talking at the same time), at a grocery store, (person checking out and talking at the same time), on a bike, (person biking and talking at the same time), etc. That’s the thing with technology, it is always progressing and sometimes allows us to do things that well… maybe we shouldn’t be doing. I don’t know if there’s a cell phone etiquette book out there, but maybe there should be.
Last Friday evening, Chris and I decided to take in some bowling for something a little different to do. We both bowled a few spares, a few strikes, had a few drinks, and had a good time. The best part of the evening however, was witnessing a 20 some year old bowling with a bowling ball in one hand and cell phone in the other. I couldn’t believe it and couldn’t stop laughing. Talk about a balancing act!
After I finally stopped laughing, I thought to myself, this probably wasn’t really that big of a deal for Generation Y kid. Afterall they can text message at the speed of light, instant message while doing homework and listening to music, juggle e-mail on their BlackBerrys while talking on their cell phones, etc. They are definitely a generation of multitaskers. It is no wonder this kid even managed to get most of the pins down. He obviously had performed this feat before.
I don’t know about you, but I won’t be guilty of trying this one out.
Thanks for reading!
