I admit it: I talk on my cellphone while driving. However, I only do it on long trips and on highways when there are few cars & trucks on the road. It is a way for me to efficiently use time; I travel and keep in touch with friends and family at the same time.
As for texting, I don't do that while driving. It is too hard on my little phone!
Questions for class:
1. What is your view of people who drive while using a cellphone? Do you ever talk on the phone while driving?
2. Herbert is very critical of multitasking, which many people find valuable in today's fast-paced society. Do you agree or disagree with Herbert?
3. One part of Herbert's complaint is that we can think of multitasking as "a neurotic inability to concentrate for more than three seconds." Do you think Herbert's assessment is harsh, accurate, or something else?
4. Herbert writes, "We need to slow down and take a deep breath." What does he mean? Would you be able to follow his advice in your life now? Why or why not?
5. What does it mean to be "out of touch with your song"? Have you ever been out of touch with your song? When?
1- I drive and use my cellphone too. and i think that as long as you got a good handle and are not driving through traffic then it is not a problem.
ReplyDelete2- multi-tasking is a humans way of fooling himself into thinking that he is busy by doing more than one thing at the same time. while on the other hand they have alot of free time. but i think its not a bad thing and that it gives off the feeling of doing things in a non traditional way.
