Discovery Girls' Readers Help Stanford University with Multitasking Survey

Discovery Girls' readers are amazing!

Stanford University has published a ground-breaking study on multitasking and watching videos--and YOU made it happen! Thanks to your participation in our survey, researchers now have a better understanding of how multitasking affects girls' social lives.

Nothing beats a lot of face- to-face time with your friends!

I actually don’t multitask

I actually don’t multitask often but I do procrastinate. I wonder if there is a video fro that. If anyone know of a cure, please tell me! :) Thanks.

Multitasking

That was an amazing video. I actually don’t multitask that often. The first girl really surprised me. She was doing so many things with technology. I was like, “Am I really gonna be like this?” but after I heard that the cure was face-to-face communication, I realized that I’m not really in danger of my social and emotional development depleting because I have a lot of face-to-face communication in my life.

Not really.

I do spend a lot of time on my computer, but I’m also participating in my theater group, The Octavians, which allows me to communicate with basically all of my friends face-to-face.
