After watching A Vision of Students Today by Michael Wecsh, what matters most to me, is that we learn to multitask.  “I work 2 hours a day,”  “I Iisten to music 2.5 hours a day,”  “I spend 2 hours on my cell phone,”  “I spend 1 ½ hours watching TV each night,”  “I spend 3 ½ hours a day online,” etc… “That’s a Total of 26.5 hours per day.” Since it takes more time to get everything done than there are hours in a day, it is important to me to multitask. This matters to education because education should take up a huge part of the day.  Students spend much of their day doing homework and stuff for school, and also benefit from time spent doing the things they want to do.  This matters to the world because people need balance between work and play. In order to provide for everything that needs to be done and still have time for things that we enjoy doing, we need to learn to multitask effectively. If the human race is able to multitask, why not use that ability?
