bitful

I recently read somewhere that in 10 years time multitasking will not be considered a quality any longer.

Over the weekend, I saw all the people (including myself) at Hack Day listening to presentation, developing their own hacks at the same time, IMing people, twittering, checking email, taking photos, uploading photos, tagging photos, searching for similarly tagged photos, ending up looking at photos of cute kittens instead.

Sometimes I feel that we are inebriated with the heady scent of everything we can do with the web today which, compared to only five years ago (remember dialup?) is indeed breathtaking. And so we do everything at the same time, while looking out for more things to do and publishing everything out for the world to see and comment about.

I can't wait to see how this will evolve and possibly calm down and become an intrinsic aspect of each and everyone's lives. The day when we will all take for granted what a few mad techies are experimenting with at the moment. I hope to see that day.
