[Lesley Farmer]

Multitasking may slow students downCollege students' reading
comprehension may not be hampered by interruptions from instant
messages, but researchers found that those who try to multitask by
reading an assignment and text messaging at the same time are about 15
minutes slower in working through their reading assignments versus
their peers who work sequentially.Bowman, L. (2008, Aug.). Media and
