Multi- tasking and technostress

We are presently reading a text whose title is: Multi-tasking madness. This problem affects many people nowadays because technology allows us to do so many things simultaneously. We can work from anywhere at any time; consequently we never feel disconnected from work. As time goes by, we will feel more and more tired and unable to enjoy life.
Be aware of technostress and multi-tasking madness!


Now Have a look at a text I 've found in the web about technostress.

Q: What is TechnoStress?
A: TechnoStress is our reaction to technology and how we are changing due to its influence. Over the past 15 years, as technology has become an increasingly prevalent part of our lives, we have watched TechnoStress develop and impact people in their personal lives, their family and their work environment. We are changing both internally and externally due to technology and these changes are not in our best interests physically, socially or emotionally.
Q: What is TechnoStress doing to us?
A: Some of the ramifications of the rapid influx of technology in our world are blatant, while others are quite subtle. Today, people diminish their own intelligence in comparison to technology, feeling less able and less capable in comparison to "the machine." Because technology lets us do so much, today we take on too much and end up feeling overwhelmed and never "finished." We feel invaded by technology on all fronts, by the beeps of our pagers, cell phones, incoming faxes and those of others around us. We tote our laptops on vacation and our bosses expect us to carry sky pagers. Our personal and work boundaries are blurred and we never feel true "down time" any more.
Q: What are the symptoms of TechnoStress?
A: There are many signs of TechnoStress. For example, technology allows us to do many things simultaneously. If we work at home, we can cook our dinner in the microwave oven, talk on our cellular phone, send e-mail, do a load of laundry, and be printing a document all at the same time. However, even though technology enables us to do many things at the same time, our brains become overloaded. We call this "Multitasking Madness" and we are seeing more and more of it every day. We have fallen into the trap of, "Because we can, we do." We can find ourselves unable to think clearly and we become forgetful and incapable of having a restful sleep as the stimulation from the overload keeps our brain working overtime.
