Compulsive Multitasking When one of my web-newbie friends begins to get the hang of surfing web sites, I start to give them more colloquial tips like, “Ya know, you can have more than one browser window open at a time and look at a second page while the first is loading.”
Now I realize this habit is not just wisely utilizing my time and modem bandwidth, it’s an Addiction. Just now I was happily reading a fascinating page and noticed the other browser window wasn’t earning its keep, so I had to make it go somewhere, do something, just to keep those little lights flashing in my eyes.
