Online culture and communication

In the past, I used to distingish real life an virtual life easily when I am a primary student. However, when I am a university student, I find difficulty distingish them because I spend a lot of time using computer rather than talking with people. In real life, I am JACK but in virtual life, I can John, Jackson, Eva and so on. There are numerous identities in virtual life.

Also, there are a lot of online platform such as facebook, linkedIn that we can use. We can find different cultures in the different platforms. For instances, in facebook,  I feel relaxed and I share many interesting things with my friends while in linkedIn, I look for professional comments which are related to career. Undoubtedly, different cultures in different platforms are quite similiar to different cultures around the world. Which culture do you like most?

By the way, texting, instant messager, e-mail are commonly found. Which one do you like? In fact, I like texting very much because it is easy to use and convenient to chat with my friend immediately. Additionally, I like writting letter since seeing hand writing of different people reflects their personalities  although there are few people who write letter nowadays.

Week 6~Multi-tasking~

Do you like multi-tasking? I like it very much because undoubtedly it saves my time and I can do a lot of things at the same time. For instances, I would like to chat with different people, watch TV programmes and even make phone calls to my boss. Have you ever tried this before? I guess most of you have.

Actually, someone may think that I am crazy but it is my opinion that doing a lot of things concurrently can help develop ability to deal with different problems in company. As we all know, workload of most jobs increase  a lot, for examples, a teacher not only teach students, but also launch a wide variety of events in secondary school. The employers want employees to have skill of multi-tasking.Do you agree with me?

Finally, there are some disadvantages of multi-tasking. Take me as an example. If I chat with many people meanwhile, I will often forget what I have just said. And this always annoys my friends. Also, owing to multi-tasking, I find difficulty concentrate on doing one thing. I need to listen to music when I work. Do you have same experience as me?
