0:00:00.485,0:00:03.381
I'm a designer and an educator.

0:00:03.381,0:00:06.277
I'm a multitasking person, and I push my students

0:00:06.277,0:00:12.388
to fly through a very creative, multitasking design process.

0:00:12.388,0:00:17.353
But how efficient is, really, this multitasking?

0:00:17.353,0:00:23.058
Let's consider for a while the option of monotasking.

0:00:23.058,0:00:25.973
A couple of examples.

0:00:25.973,0:00:27.401
Look at that.

0:00:27.401,0:00:31.014
This is my multitasking activity result. (Laughter)

0:00:31.014,0:00:34.669
So trying to cook, answering the phone, writing SMS,

0:00:34.669,0:00:37.021
and maybe uploading some pictures

0:00:37.021,0:00:40.539
about this awesome barbecue.

0:00:40.539,0:00:44.573
So someone tells us the story about supertaskers,

0:00:44.573,0:00:47.998
so this two percent of people who are able

0:00:47.998,0:00:52.134
to control multitasking environment.

0:00:52.134,0:00:56.738
But what about ourselves, and what about our reality?

0:00:56.738,0:00:59.039
When's the last time you really enjoyed

0:00:59.039,0:01:02.309
just the voice of your friend?

0:01:02.309,0:01:05.565
So this is a project I'm working on,

0:01:05.565,0:01:10.609
and this is a series of front covers

0:01:10.609,0:01:15.116
to downgrade our super, hyper —

0:01:15.116,0:01:20.033
(Laughter) (Applause)

0:01:20.033,0:01:22.841
to downgrade our super, hyper-mobile phones

0:01:22.841,0:01:25.872
into the essence of their function.

0:01:25.872,0:01:28.649
Another example: Have you ever been to Venice?

0:01:28.649,0:01:32.962
How beautiful it is to lose ourselves in these little streets

0:01:32.962,0:01:35.345
on the island.

0:01:35.345,0:01:38.787
But our multitasking reality is pretty different,

0:01:38.787,0:01:43.059
and full of tons of information.

0:01:43.059,0:01:45.596
So what about something like that

0:01:45.596,0:01:49.763
to rediscover our sense of adventure?

0:01:49.763,0:01:53.036
I know that it could sound pretty weird to speak about mono

0:01:53.036,0:01:57.587
when the number of possibilities is so huge,

0:01:57.587,0:02:02.186
but I push you to consider the option of

0:02:02.186,0:02:05.303
focusing on just one task,

0:02:05.303,0:02:11.260
or maybe turning your digital senses totally off.

0:02:11.260,0:02:17.276
So nowadays, everyone could produce his mono product.

0:02:17.276,0:02:21.020
Why not? So find your monotask spot

0:02:21.020,0:02:23.604
within the multitasking world.

0:02:23.604,0:02:25.137
Thank you.

0:02:25.137,0:02:31.815
