“當我們在做多任務媒體時，我們沒有真正關注我們身邊的人，我們會得到不注意的習慣，因此可能只會聽到話，但失去豐富的，關鍵的情感."

"When we media multitask, we're not really paying attention to the people around us and we get in a habit of not paying attention, and thus when I'm talking with you, I may be hearing the words but I'm missing all the rich, critical, juicy stuff at the heart of emotional and social life."

斯坦福大學的研究顯示，看到網上的朋友無處不在的積極張貼，可能會導致錯誤的結論說：“每個人都高興，除了我，”

The happy-face emotional slant of most Facebook postings doesn't help, either, he said. As shown in other Stanford University research, seeing the ubiquitous positive postings of online friends can lead to the erroneous conclusion that "Everyone is happy except me," Nass said. 

“兒童在8至12歲多面對面溝通，表現出更好的社會和情感的發展，即使他們使用多種電子媒體。”

"Kids in the 8-to-12-year-old range who communicate face-to-face very frequently, show much better social and emotional development, even if they're using a great deal of media."

多任務媒體並沒有真正在同一時間做兩件事，還有心理的代價: “他們攝取不相干的事情, 一切事情都會分散他們的集中力.”

Media multitaskers were not really doing two things at once and were paying a mental price for trying. "They're suckers for irrelevancy," Nass said then. "Everything distracts them."
