I tried this a few months ago.

I couldn’t draw a 6, but I sent the paper in and was admitted to art school.

Computers don’t multitask. They set up multiple tasks, and give each task a small slice of time. After the slice of time, the task is suspended, until its next slice comes along.

It appears that the computer is multitasking, but it isn’t.

It would have served no purpose if the human, or other species, body had developed something like this time-slice multitasking. To use a mainframe analogy, A whole complex of control blocks, save areas, and interrupt processors would have been necessary, along with additional storage to hold the task’s memory while it is taking a rest.

The current system, of the human body, serves the purpose quite well. It wasn’t designed for complex multitasking. With practice, one can learn to put a task on hold and handle another one. Some bosses seem to think that this ability is a job requirement. I don’t.
