While I am well aware of the fact that today's kids are way more technologically advanced than what we used to be, my son has taken the idea of multi-tasking to a whole new level. He has been trying to watch two different movies at the same time; One on TV and one on the ipad.
Growing up I remember enjoying the TV in the background (no flat TV, LCD or LED of course) while trying to do my homework or studying for exams. Somehow the noise and movements in the background inspired and motivated me to keep going and continue whatever boring task I was doing, with a false notion that I was not missing on the fun. Although doing all that with the TV on surly took me a significantly longer time.
"How can you watch two movies at the same time?" I asked my 5 year old that was deeply into his two movies. I can understand watching a movie and playing an ipad app at the same time but even a super multi-tasker would find multi-movie watching rather challenging. My son takes his eyes off the screen for a moment and with a serious look he says:"I have two eyes you know!"
