Either I’m just in the mood for information overload or I just spend way too much time on the computer. I have a lot of things I want to do ya know.

Watch a movie, listen to some new music, get data backed up, blog, get a few dvds burned all the while monitoring system resources. One of the things I really enjoy doing is getting a lot of things done at the same time. :-)

What am I doing right now?

  • Moving data from an external hard rive to be backed up on disc
  • Watching Superbad
  • Burning a dvd backup
  • Backing data to amazon S3
  • Blogging
  • Twittering
  • Chatting
  • Perusing a few forums and intermittently scanning my blog feeds in google reader
  • Monitoring temperatures and internet bandwidth usage
  • And… oddly enough listening to music

What would appear to be utter chaos and “noise” to some people is multitasking harmony to me! Is that strange? In all our fast paced lives, anything to get things done faster and more efficiently is the goal right? But has it become also an addiction?

We implement ways to do more and more things into everything in our lives, including while we’re just having fun. So we’re taking it past getting more done into a need for information at all times and more. I go outside to get away from technology every now and then and some of the things I see:

  • Cellphones
  • Laptops
  • iPhones (I want one so bad!)
  • MP3 players
  • TVs (they seem to be everywhere, gyms, schools, stores, etc.)
  • Radios

What kind of multitasking do you do? What technology helps you do even more?
