So I was listening to a TED talk the other day, because I'm a huge nerd and I enjoy listening to educational talks in my spare time and I came across a lecture about the evolution of the English language. It was wonderful, funny and smart and introduced me to a new word that I think needs to be incorporated into vernacular.
Multislacking: The practice of using a computer at work for tasks or activities that are not related to one's job. (Oxford English Dictionary)
Such a fantastic work, multislacking, it is quite literally the exact opposite of multitasking. I am quite proficient in using both of these tasks in my daily life but I do think I am more practiced in multislacking, specifically when working on homework or studying. Because Pinerest provides such a lovely and relaxing foil for studying Organic Chemistry or Bio-Chemistry.
*** Note for Loo: I know you are only 14, but you are a very intelligent young woman and you know how to use google and your cell phone. So if there is something you don't understand, google that shit. Its the best way to learn, to find the answer your self and if you can't find a satisfactory answer then feel free to ask.
