Multitasking

Multitasking can be defined in various ways depending on the context. 

Multitasking is:

1. Simultaneous Execution of Tasks: Multitasking is the ability to perform multiple tasks or activities concurrently, dividing one's attention among them to some extent. This definition is often used in the context of technology or computing, where multitasking refers to a system's ability to execute multiple processes simultaneously.

2. Switching Between Tasks: Multitasking can also refer to the rapid switching between different tasks or activities. In this definition, individuals may not be performing multiple tasks simultaneously but rather alternating their focus between them in quick succession.

3. Cognitive Task Management: Multitasking involves the management of cognitive resources to handle multiple tasks effectively. This definition emphasizes the mental processes involved in prioritizing, allocating attention, and switching between tasks to achieve desired outcomes.

4. Performing Multiple Tasks Sequentially:  Some definitions of multitasking highlight the sequential execution of tasks rather than simultaneous or rapid switching. In this view, individuals may tackle one task at a time but juggle several tasks over a period, leading to the perception of multitasking.

5. Parallel Processing: Multitasking can also be described as the parallel processing of information, where individuals engage in multiple mental activities concurrently. This definition is often used in the context of the brain's ability to handle various cognitive functions simultaneously.

6. Task Overload: In some cases, multitasking may refer to the situation where individuals attempt to handle more tasks than they can effectively manage, leading to cognitive overload and decreased performance in all tasks.

7. Divided Attention: Multitasking involves dividing one's attention or focus among multiple stimuli, tasks, or demands. This definition underscores the challenge of maintaining focus and concentration while managing competing priorities.

To cap it all, multitasking encompasses a range of behaviors and processes involving the simultaneous or sequential handling of multiple tasks, activities, or cognitive demands. The specific definition may vary depending on the context and perspective from which it is examined.

Sweet Spot

How do you create a digital strategy that involves customers in an energized social community?  How do you create an engaged, active “go-to” website?   Prophet's David Aaaker says, You must change the orientation of marketing from selling the offering, the brand, and firm to becoming an active partner with a shared interest program around a customer’s “sweet spot.” A sweet spot reflects customers’ “thinking and doing” time, beliefs and values, activities and passions, possessions or places they treasure. Ideally, it would be a part of, if not central to, their self-identity and lifestyle and reflect a higher-order value proposition, much beyond the benefits provided by the offering. To illustrate, Pampers went beyond diapers by creating the Pampers Village community that provides a “go to” place for all issues relating to babies and child care. Its five sections – pregnancy, newborn, baby, toddler, and preschooler – all have a menu of topics. Its online ...

It's yes because two powerful states in Asia: China and Russia have consolidated authoritarian regime, that the end points may not be visible soon.  These two forces are working tirelessly to globalize oligarchy and authoritarianism. Their gospels has been noised abroad. Their influences influences have been displayed in some nations (with pseudo democracy) in the global south,  In Africa, liberal democracy have been badly weaken by the character of people in leadership: abuse of offices, stealing of public funds without questions and necessary punishments, plus rigging of presidential elections, leading to changing fortunes ànd quagmires. Beside, the curent hyper-inflation in Nigeria is blamed on the recent resurgence of Adams Smith and liberal economics doctrines (and partly by loyalty to Washington consensus: policies and insititios designed by the US government to globalize capitalism and it's associated cultural systems).
