Multitasking is defined as the human mind simultaneously attempting to perform as many tasks as possible.The term originally related to computers processing several bits of information at one time. Many researchers suggest that rather than performing several tasks as one time, we are in reality switching from task to task rapidly. It is believed that multitasking can lead to time wasted due to modular differences. These modular differences cause more errors due to insufficient attention to each task. Studies have shown that there is a decrease in performance with even simple tasks when performed at the same time.
