professor of business and psychology Tomas Chamorro-Premuzic urges that there is a crisis of attentiveness “When information is bountiful, attention is limited and precious” (Tomas 1).

According to a study in 2016, “One-way analyses of variance (ANOVAs) were conducted to compare the attitudinal and cognitive responses in the single and two multitasking conditions. This analysis yielded significant results for all three dependent measures” (Kazakova 409). This study proved that multitasking is capable, but not fully achievable.
