Study or work is then a great many of messages, phone calls, surfing the Net,

often happening simultaneously. However, the most intense period of multitasking is in the evening. “People will be pressing the television

remote control while using a wireless laptop computer balanced on their

knee, e–mailing and texting friends on a mobile phone, downloading the music and having a conversation with family members or roommates”, said Patrick Moriarty, one of the authors of the report.

One of the respondents agreed that for him and his wife the evening is the

peak of multitasking. “Both of us are out of the house during the day. When

we come back in the evening we tend to have a lot of technology on the go.

We’ll be using online banking. Facebook, and email, and programming the

TV shows we want to watch later. On the one hand it’s good – you get more

done. On the other hand, when I left university seven years ago, life was

much simpler. There was more talking face-to-face and more time spent over

dinner”.​
