GoogleTasking
Let this blog post provide date and reference... today during a table-topics exercise at our local Toastmasters meeting i riffed (ie: talked) about multitasking. 15 years ago, multitasking was pumping gas while eating a donut, or while waving to your friend across the street. Today, multitasking often looks like using your cell phone, scribbling notes on a pad, eating a bagel (craving the coffee just out of reach) while navigating heavy machinery... yeah, i mean doing ALL of that while driving your car. Safe or not, many of us find ourselves there. Overload.
Google, in its purest form means ONE HUNDRED ZERO's (yeah, it WAS a word long before google added it to our lexicon).
So, while riffing about multitasking, we looked ahead, another 10 or 15 years maybe? or possibly into the next generation entirely (when my currently unborn child is, say, 24). What will multitasking look like then? How much will their form of multitasking dwarf our sense of overload? Hence the new word googletasking. i ran a google search and got ZERO hit's... did i just make this up? Heh... not gonna patent it (it's just a word)... even if someone else somewhere else uses it, it's a great concept, and a great play on words.
/Maybe this could be my claim to fame, kind of like Al Gore reminding us that he invented the internet!
