Break down your average daily computer use. About how much of your time is spent doing homework on the computer during the school year? How about e-mail, IM, surfing the web, or computer games? Anything else? How much multitasking do you do? Do you sit down and open up Microsoft Word and do your homework or do you IM, listen to music and e-mail all while perhaps partitioning a little brainpower towards that essay of yours?
Most of the time when I'm on the computer I'm not trying to do any particluar task. (Most of my homework is finished pretty quickly.) Although when I do have assignments to do I try to get them finished first allowing me to use any amount of time necessary to get the job done. I'm also known to do assignments on the computer that don't need to be done on the computer. One, it's an excuse to stay on the computer, and two, my handwriting isn't very neat. I don't spend a lot of time checking my email, since the majority of my internet communication is through instant messenger. I do commit an ample amount of time to computer games, but I don't play games like Starcraft, WoW, or Maple Story due to the need to install the game on the computer. (too big of a hassle in my opinion.) The only time I really multitask on the computer is when the task I'm doing isn't particularly important. When working on a large assignment, I'll devote all of my attention to it. However, when not doing any of the above activities on the computer, I'm probably watching anime or comedy clips on youtube.
