I'm a designer and an educator.
-
I'm a multitasking person, and I push my students
-
to fly through a very creative, multitasking design process.
-
But how efficient is, really, this multitasking?
-
Let's consider for a while the option of monotasking.
-
A couple of examples.
-
Look at that.
-
This is my multitasking activity result. (Laughter)
-
So trying to cook, answering the phone, writing SMS,
-
and maybe uploading some pictures
-
about this awesome barbecue.
-
So someone tells us the story about supertaskers,
-
so this two percent of people who are able
-
to control multitasking environment.
-
But what about ourselves, and what about our reality?
-
When's the last time you really enjoyed
-
just the voice of your friend?
-
So this is a project I'm working on,
-
and this is a series of front covers
-
to downgrade our super, hyper —
-
(Laughter) (Applause)
-
to downgrade our super, hyper-mobile phones
-
into the essence of their function.
-
Another example: Have you ever been to Venice?
-
How beautiful it is to lose ourselves in these little streets
-
on the island.
-
But our multitasking reality is pretty different,
-
and full of tons of information.
-
So what about something like that
-
to rediscover our sense of adventure?
-
I know that it could sound pretty weird to speak about mono
-
when the number of possibilities is so huge,
-
but I push you to consider the option of
-
focusing on just one task,
-
or maybe turning your digital senses totally off.
-
So nowadays, everyone could produce his mono product.
-
Why not? So find your monotask spot
-
within the multitasking world.
-
Thank you.

(Applause)
