"Multitasking is impossible" is seriously overgeneralizing from personal experience. It's just not true that it's impossible. It's certainly impossible for me - if my laptop is open, I'm not listening. But that's not true for everyone!

I was always under the impression that human multitasking means failing at multiple things at once. It seems to be just that different people feel different about success.
