Multitasking generation

Media multitasking involves using TV, the Web, radio, telephone, print, or any other media in conjunction with another. Also referred to as "simultaneous media use," or "multicommunicating," this behavior has emerged as increasingly common, especially among younger media users. The shift toward more frequent multitasking occurred basically at the turn of the century (around year 2000) [1] and media multitasking still continues to gain popularity among young people and especially students.[2]

A survey made by Donald F. Roberts and others for the Kaiser Family Foundation found that kids' multitasking led them to pack a daily average of 8.5 hours of media viewing into 6.5 hours of time spent interacting with electronic media.</ref> and has gained significant attention in media usage measurement, especially as a new opportunity for cross-media advertising.

The expression second screen is used in conjunction with media multitasking.

Much of this multitasking is not inherently coupled or coordinated except by the user. For example, a user may be browsing the Web, listening to music playing video games, using e-mail, or talking on the phone while watching TV.[3][4] More directly coordinated forms of media multitasking are emerging in the form of "coactive media" and particularly "coactive TV."

ISAAC ASIMOVIsaac Asimov was an American author and professor of biochemistry at Boston University, best known for his works of science fiction and for his popular science books. Asimov was one of the most prolific writers of all time, having written or edited more than 500 books and an estimated 90,000 letters and postcards. His books have been published in 9 of the 10 major categories of the Dewey Decimal Classification.

Asimov is widely considered a master of hard science fiction and, along with Robert A. Heinlein and Arthur C. Clarke, he was considered one of the "Big Three" science fiction writers during his lifetime. Asimov's most famous work is the Foundation Series; his other major series are the Galactic Empire series and the Robot series. The Galactic Empire novels are explicitly set in earlier history of the same fictional universe as the Foundation series. Later, beginning with Foundation's Edge, he linked this distant future to the Robot and Spacer stories, creating a unified "future history" for his stories much like those pioneered by Robert A. Heinlein and previously produced by Cordwainer Smith and Poul Anderson. He wrote hundreds of short stories, including the social science fiction "Nightfall", which in 1964 was voted by the Science Fiction Writers of America the best short science fiction story of all time. Asimov wrote the Lucky Starr series of juvenile science-fiction novels using the pen name Paul French.

The prolific Asimov also wrote mysteries and fantasy, as well as much nonfiction. Most of his popular science books explain scientific concepts in a historical way, going as far back as possible to a time when the science in question was at its simplest stage. He often provides nationalities, birth dates, and death dates for the scientists he mentions, as well as etymologies and pronunciation guides for technical terms. Examples include Guide to Science, the three-volume set Understanding Physics, and Asimov's Chronology of Science and Discovery, as well as works on astronomy, mathematics, the Bible, William Shakespeare's writing, and chemistry.

Asimov was a long-time member and vice president of Mensa International, albeit reluctantly; he described some members of that organization as "brain-proud and aggressive about their IQs". He took more joy in being president of the American Humanist Association. The asteroid 5020 Asimov, a crater on the planet Mars, a Brooklyn, New York elementary school, and a literary award are named in his honor.

Avatar

Avatar is a movie set in a fictional future where an Earth company (the RDA) is trying to extract a rare and valuable mineral, Unobtainium, from the moon Pandora, located in the Alpha Centauri star system. There is an intelligent race called the Na’vi, which are indigenous to the moon. The movie follows a soldier named Jake Sully who assumes his dead brother's place in the AVTR program, wherepeople neurally connect to a lab grown, organic human-Na'vi hybrid called an "avatar". In this body he attempts to befriend the natives to work out a peaceful mining solution. The Na'vi are a very spiritual people who have a strong connection to nature and their environment and are against the mining. Jake becomes torn between the ways of his own race and the deep beliefs of the Na'vi, and eventually betrays humanity. The movie touches upon the idea of how far humans will go to get what they want, no matter what the cost.
