Mastering Multitasking

by Urs Gasser and John Palfrey

It's part of every digital native's life. Can we help students do it right?

In 2007 alone, 161 billion gigabytes of digital content were created, stored, and shared around the world. This is equivalent to 12 stacks of books reaching from the Earth to the sun, or six tons of books for every living person (Gantz, 2008).

 

This book is not a member benefit, but sample chapters have been selected for your perusal.
