Well I am done with my first semester here at Bryant&Stratton. I really enjoyed the Professors that were assigned to me and I learned alot from them. Since being out of school for 37 years and relearning alot of stuff that I thought I forgot, I didn't do to bad. I really started enjoying going to class everyday and the knowledge I got from them. In this next semester I will put more focus on my major network technology to set myself up for a internship then next a job. So thank you Judith Hunely for helping me with my computer skills, and thank you Stephen Pelton for showing me how to do research and finding out how to look for information. Then there Molly Low " The Most Important Professor at Bryant&Stratton" she really help me the most in my first semester and showed alot of patience with me. I will have her next semester and looking forward to being with her again. In my major I will have professor Hammond again a man who is fantastic in his field of network technology This has been a rewarding experience show far and a lot of fun. So here's to the spring semester it should be a real blast.

Career Post #5 my opinon

Multitasking has been around for a long time even during prehistoric time of the caveman. This is how they survived during this period. If you were a person of power like a king, or queen, or a prince, or someone in their status. Emperors and other people of high places were exempt, too this happened during the Greek and Roman times, the Dark Ages, and Renaissance times.Your status meant allot back then on how much had to do when it came to multitasking. Even during slavery days in our own country you had this.You had the field slave and house slave both had to multitask.

From the days of the Great Depression, Prohibition, World Wars I and II, and during the days of Jim Crow people multi tasked. The Unions tried to put a halt to this but were unsuccessful in there attempt in trying to professionalize the type of work you did.This resulted in higher wages less hours higher benefits in which most business could not afford and led most into bankruptcy.

Now that we are in the computer  age people are still multitasking. Even with all of the different programs, apps, and devices that are out. It is of my opinion that this will never go away and will be around for ever.There will always be people multitasking in every generation.

Multitasking Career post #5

In the first article from science daily and the research done by the two professors at Boston College is sort of  not fair to the television. The television doesn't have nearly the amount of  apps or functions that a computer dose. With a computer you can pull up two or three different screens of material, research, and projects or assignments on your task bar or navigation pane. With a television all you can do is change the channels to different stations, and adjust the color, contrast and other adjustments on how you watch the screen. You can do the same type of adjustments on a computer plus more, so the computer will always win out. You will still have a split attention span on both  devices, but more of it will go to the computer.




The Doug Caverly focuses on concentration when you are multitasking. There are many ways a person can  do this type of action. You must be careful someone or a situation in which you will get distracted while you are multitasking will add to your thought process. This in turn will throw your concentration off depending on the person. Distractions affect both young and old, but depending on what you are doing distractions will affect older people more. Finally what type of attention span you have has a broad range and depends on the person. Dr. Adam Gazzaley who did the research on this subject of multitasking for; University of  California at San Francisco. He states that you may want to cut back on social media, smart phones, iPads and other devices to clear your mind.
