Last term- if you were doing lit review and wanted to learn about multi-tasking, you could google any of these terms that we have discussed- last term- task switchingii. This is juggling/handing interruptionsiii. Sometimes an interruption, while juggling, you are doing it yourself and you are back and forthiv. Other times its non-volitionalyou are in the middle of one thing and you get interruptedv. Interruption Science- information science bc its so central to comm technologyvi. This is why Linda Stone has talked about Continuous Partial Attentionvii. Bc we are continuously just giving part of our attention to something before we switchviii. Bc it happens so quickly we really aren’t giving something our full attention* and hence the problem!i. separation is about making (or not making) choices about what things we will attend to**ii. Eliminated or allowed bc its always on continuum of more or less- when completing a taskiii. Ballard’s theorizing is around the workplace- so particularly a work task- but could apply to other tasksiv. **KEY THING= she doesn’t mention interruptions; people will talk about Interruption science; she doesn’t bc notion of an interruption is a specific construction of time, that in all cultures, you don’t find a notion of interruptionv. Unavailable- high level of separationvi. Available- low level of separation; you are constantly reading/texting/emailing at once**a. Why work doesn’t happen at workb. Jason Fried- why people cant get work done at workc. We have companies/nonprofits/charities that have volunteers/employees that are expected to do great workd. So they decide that all these people need to come together in one place to do that worke. Most people have to go to office everydayf. Companies build offices- buildings and fill this space with stuff**g. Expect employees/volunteers to come to that location everyday to do great workh. HOWEVER when you talk to people- where do you really wanna go when you need to get something done- place/location/room, time, moving objectCMS 372T Lecture 10Outline of Last Lecture I.
