Do you tend to use more than one device at a time?

[Jhine7]

Not really. I try to stay to one device at a time. I also try to switch up my devices to try to not get addicted to anything.

 

[~Kilza~]

I guess I do a fair amount, yeah. I tend to be on my laptop a lot, but I'll also sometimes have my TV on and half-watch something in the background (i.e. sports like the Olympics). Sometimes I'll play a game on my TV and have a YouTube video playing on my laptop as well depending on what I'm playing, or I'll even just be keeping an eye on my laptop while playing something in case somebody messages me or anything like that.

When I bred Pokemon, I would hatch eggs while watching a movie, depending on the movie.

 

[Milleram]

I like to multitask, so I often use 2-3 devices at once, usually my laptop, phone and Switch.

 

[aericell]

i am almost always using my phone while using other devices

 

[kakapo]

Usually when I'm grinding something on the switch or 3ds I'll watch something on my laptop

 

[BakaRina]

Oh definitely. I tend to use two devices often when I'm trying to do something, like playing a game while watching/listening to music or something else,

 

[Chronos314_XD]

Yeah, I like to listen to youtube videos and stuff when I'm playing video games, unless if there's an important cutscene or something then I would pause whatever I'm listening to.

 

[daisyflowers]

usually one at a time, but if the computer fan is super loud then i'll play music through my phone with headphones on. sometimes also i go onto my phone whilst the TV is on

 

[Rosch]

I have my phone beside me when I'm working on my laptop. When I rest, I pick up my phone and browse social media or YouTube in there instead. Then I get back to my laptop after 10-15 minutes.

 

[skarmoury]

yea sometimes!! i use my phone to vidcall w my bf while im on my computer as i dont have a webcam yet.

 

[Vhoop]

i typically stick to just the computer but when im feeling especially braindead ill whip out the double monitor + phone combo LOL

 

[BetsySundrop]

I use more than one device all the time. I'll listen to music, podcasts, or audiobooks, while I'm gaming, playing piano, etc.

I have a hard time concentrating on just one thing sometimes.

 

[Sheando]

I really don’t enjoy doing this; it feels so overstimulating to me. The only time I’ll do it is when I’m in the room with someone who is watching something I don’t really like or am not interested in. If I’m choosing to watch something or look something up or play a video game, I want to be able to focus on that one thing without other devices intruding.

I guess the other exception is research: if I’m making a travel spreadsheet on my laptop I might have my phone out so that I can search things quickly without always leaving the spreadsheet page. But to me that’s still one activity being divided between two devices, so no split attention.

 

[Clock]

Sometimes I use more than one device. Whenever I use a laptop, sometimes I also bring out my ipad. When I play games, I usually stick to the tv or computer, nothing else.

 

[himekirako]

sometimes! it’s not all the times but it can happen

sometimes i’ll have music playing or my inspos (pinterest) opened on my pc while i’m playing acnh
sometimes it’s just music on my pc while i’m reading, either manga on my phone or a book on my kindle

 

[lasagne_of_death]

It's too disorderly for me to use more than one device at a time. The only time I'd use more than one is if I'm typing an essay on a computer and need to look things up, I'll use my phone to search things.

 

[Coach]

Yes, it's quite a bad habit and I really need to shake it.
