The Return of Multitasking
Issue 48 of the newsletter has dropped!
A couple of weeks into a new year, and a ton already filling the roundup.
On one front, this is looking like it will be The Year of the Robot. And, coming out of a month of Robots Everywhere, long-time readers of The New New will be amazed by my robot-centric restraint in this issue. For this issue, we have just one robot — a friendly, good robot — down in the Roundup.
On the other front, the number of stories filling the “what could possibly go wrong?” beat will give screenwriters plenty to work with for their next horror flicks.
In this issue, those two things are sitting in the middle of some bigger thinking at the top and a fun miniature city at the bottom.
This article explores the return of multitasking in the workplace, facilitated by AI. It differentiates between 'chef mode', where workers manage multiple AI tools simultaneously, and 'foreman mode', where AI agents handle specialized tasks. The article also touches on trends like designing for smallness and the rise of micro-events. Roundup #48 covers various futuristic concepts, from ant yogurt to lunar hotels.
