A news junkie finds out that distracting himself makes him less productive. From this we can conclude that ALL people who have two screens should forget the second one. Right.
- coldtea 12y agoOr, with a more charitable and less snarky reading, let's condlude that it's possible that "2 screens can be worse than one". Or maybe that most people are "news junkies" that can benefit from less distractions, whether they believe it applies to them or not.
- msandford 12y agoWhile I agree that my comment was snarky, the author didn't couch the statements at all. "Discovering Two Screens Aren't Better Than One" That makes it sound an awful lot like a fact or a universal law, not someone's personal opinion. When it's clearly one person's opinion. Just about everyone who needs to "multi-task" by reading documentation and applying that knowledge can and likely will benefit from multiple screens. I wish I had three, really. That's a huge part of the economy; software, CAD/CAM, basically anything engineering-ish at all. To suppose that the way that you use a computer is the same as the way everyone uses a computer is rather arrogant, don't you think?
