Can’t you understand I have a lot on my mind?” It may be helpful to put aside mechanics and consider the multitasking mind. Here are some perspectives from Coach Bill Patton: An understanding of how men and women differ in learning style and brain function enhanced my coaching methods. Both men and women multitask but it is something I noticed they approach differently. Although‚ multitasking may seem like a good idea‚ studies now show that it often leaves us less present and too quickly moving on

But Pinker says‚ ““Genuine multitasking‚ too‚ has been exposed as a myth‚ not just by laboratory studies”. (2010). This is mean multitasking is considered as a story but not true‚ not just something people study and do in a lab. This is important

1. | What is an operating system? | | An operating system is a program that acts as an intermediary between the user and the computer hardware. The purpose of an OS is to provide a convenient environment in which user can execute programs in a convenient and efficient manner. It is a resource allocator responsible for allocating system resources and a control program which controls the operation of the computer hardware. | 2. | Why paging is used? | | Paging is solution to external
