1
00:00:00,485 --> 00:00:03,381
I'm a designer and an educator.

2
00:00:03,381 --> 00:00:06,277
I'm a multitasking person, and I push my students

3
00:00:06,277 --> 00:00:12,388
to fly through a very creative, multitasking design process.

4
00:00:12,388 --> 00:00:17,353
But how efficient is, really, this multitasking?

5
00:00:17,353 --> 00:00:23,058
Let's consider for a while the option of monotasking.

6
00:00:23,058 --> 00:00:25,973
A couple of examples.

7
00:00:25,973 --> 00:00:27,401
Look at that.

8
00:00:27,401 --> 00:00:31,014
This is my multitasking activity result. (Laughter)

9
00:00:31,014 --> 00:00:34,669
So trying to cook, answering the phone, writing SMS,

10
00:00:34,669 --> 00:00:37,021
and maybe uploading some pictures

11
00:00:37,021 --> 00:00:40,539
about this awesome barbecue.

12
00:00:40,539 --> 00:00:44,573
So someone tells us the story about supertaskers,

13
00:00:44,573 --> 00:00:47,998
so this two percent of people who are able

14
00:00:47,998 --> 00:00:52,134
to control multitasking environment.

15
00:00:52,134 --> 00:00:56,738
But what about ourselves, and what about our reality?

16
00:00:56,738 --> 00:00:59,039
When's the last time you really enjoyed

17
00:00:59,039 --> 00:01:02,309
just the voice of your friend?

18
00:01:02,309 --> 00:01:05,565
So this is a project I'm working on,

19
00:01:05,565 --> 00:01:10,609
and this is a series of front covers

20
00:01:10,609 --> 00:01:15,116
to downgrade our super, hyper —

21
00:01:15,116 --> 00:01:20,033
(Laughter) (Applause)

22
00:01:20,033 --> 00:01:22,841
to downgrade our super, hyper-mobile phones

23
00:01:22,841 --> 00:01:25,872
into the essence of their function.

24
00:01:25,872 --> 00:01:28,649
Another example: Have you ever been to Venice?

25
00:01:28,649 --> 00:01:32,962
How beautiful it is to lose ourselves in these little streets

26
00:01:32,962 --> 00:01:35,345
on the island.

27
00:01:35,345 --> 00:01:38,787
But our multitasking reality is pretty different,

28
00:01:38,787 --> 00:01:43,059
and full of tons of information.

29
00:01:43,059 --> 00:01:45,596
So what about something like that

30
00:01:45,596 --> 00:01:49,763
to rediscover our sense of adventure?

31
00:01:49,763 --> 00:01:53,036
I know that it could sound pretty weird to speak about mono

32
00:01:53,036 --> 00:01:57,587
when the number of possibilities is so huge,

33
00:01:57,587 --> 00:02:02,186
but I push you to consider the option of

34
00:02:02,186 --> 00:02:05,303
focusing on just one task,

35
00:02:05,303 --> 00:02:11,260
or maybe turning your digital senses totally off.

36
00:02:11,260 --> 00:02:17,276
So nowadays, everyone could produce his mono product.

37
00:02:17,276 --> 00:02:21,020
Why not? So find your monotask spot

38
00:02:21,020 --> 00:02:23,604
within the multitasking world.

39
00:02:23,604 --> 00:02:25,137
Thank you.

40
00:02:25,137 --> 00:02:31,815
(Applause)
