Ranjith’s Castle

It is real that we do multiple work at the same time. But I cannot think a way we can work more than 24 hours day.

It is the same principle that is applicable to machines. If you want to shorten the time of creation of anything, we do a  mutilthreading , but we dont see a considerable decrease in time unless we use a multiprocessor.  Even a multi threaded program on a single processor machine will use only the time slice of another thread on its wait time. I consider human being to a single processor machine and can do something that is not more than 24 hours a day.

I accept that we do use a maximum of the possible time available for us.

Following is the climb by a research organisation.

“Our research showed that people somehow managed to shoehorn 31 hours
of activity into a 24-hour day,” said Colleen Fahey Rush, executive
vice president for research at MTV Networks, which worked with an
online research company, OTX, last year. “That’s from being able to do
two things at once.”
