I'm always watching Netflix...when I turn on my computer. Its as if I do nothing without that extra voice in the background. I feel like I never give my full attention to the things I do online. The internet offers the perfect venue for multitasking. I can do so many things at once...in so many different windows. My attention is never fully committed to a single task. Being able to do so much in one place appears to be awesome, however, this multitasking spreads us too thin. Most everything we do online is half-assed when we are virtually multitasking :/.

I completely agree. Right now I am commenting, listening to music, finsihing a paper, and my TV is on...
