Multitasking?

I also disagree with "kids being better at multitasking". The design of the human brain didn't suddenly change - kids have the same restrictions. If you're listening to music and watching a video, you cannot focus on both with 100% concentration. Likewise, reading and talking on the phone simultaneously. Either you don't fully understand what you're reading, or you're not really listening to the phone call.

Now, I can passively listen to music and write T-SQL at the same time - does that mean I've mastered "multitasking"?
