So.. flying a helicopter is bad?
Good point.. both hands doing separate functions, and use of both feet as well. After learning how to fly a few Army helicopters and knowing how difficult it can be, there's no way in hell I'd take a ride with anyone else as a pilot who doesn't have years of airtime under his belt.

I think this article is referring to a more broad form of multitasking.. multi-boxing WoW would probably be classified as still only one activity, although more difficult than just playing one character. I think it's referring to more of a working-world situation, where the multitasking activites are totally unrelated and require completely different chains of thought to carry out. For example, a software engineer who has to break his mindset to deal with customer service, while also peer reviewing completely unrelated code, managing expense reports, and reviewing current employee performances.
