Buzzword: Hypertasking
The Sunday Age
Sunday October 8, 2006
The simultaneous handling of chores, messages, media streams, sudoku puzzles and conversations than no brain could count, or grasp. Tagged as multi-tasking on speed, this super-overload is a symptom of our wifi era, where mobiles and Blackberries are juggled between podcasts to tackle office memos, day-care fees, internal audits and Tuesday catch-ups before the tram pulls in. Brainless TV never felt so good at the end of a hypertasking day, though several shows will be watched in overlap. -- David Astle
