Risks of Multitasking
In the context of workplace environment, multitasking seem harmless. Some people actually know of its downside but choose to do it nonetheless, even with the knowledge of their resulting tasks being sub-optimal.
Outside the context of workplace productivity, the risks become more apparent. Once we take a deeper look into the different applications of human multitasking, we begin to understand that it poses danger of different magnitudes. Innocent mistakes that result in mild mishaps can be shrugged off with an 'oops' and a simple cleanup afterward. An example of this is when a person is making coffee while engaged in a phone call. The constant shifting of attention may lead to miscalculating creamer, sugar and coffee proportions, pouring too much hot water, etc. No matter how minuscule and seemingly insignificant the mishap, we should make a conscious effort not to adapt multitasking in our day to day lives to avoid carrying it over to situations where it will pose health and safety risks to ourselves and to other people.
There is no counter-argument to the legal prohibition of typing text messages while driving. It's reckless and irresponsible to say or do otherwise because it will expose the driver, other drivers and pedestrians to needless danger. Looking at the road while tapping away on the phone does not make it any less dangerous. In high risk situations like the given example, it becomes apparent that human multitasking is unreliable, impractical and potentially life-threatening.
