Barmymoo:
It looks like he did turn them on, but that makes sense to me. I often sit down at my computer with a book open, and maybe put on some catchup TV on iPlayer while also browsing blogs and checking my email. Technology overload!
Thrudd:
It's only overload if something breaks or gets lost, otherwise it is just the road to saturation.
Dual monitors - check [have to get the third one fixed]
Sound System on and playing RUSH - check
Multiple browser windows open - check
Skype active - check
Refreshments - check
Is this what they call multitasking? :psyduck:
Neko_Ali:
He wasn't multitasking though. Sure there are times when you want to do several things at once. But he just sat down, apparently turned on the glasses and computer just to brood over the date. My point being, anything he could do with the glasses, he can do with the computer. So why wait to sit in front of the computer to turn the glasses on? That's more like turning on two CD players at the same time.

Not quite, though. He could be using the glasses as a sort of extra information layer, through which he could, say, view data about the people writing the answers. Even when you're not doing two completely separate tasks, cooperative concurrency can still be useful.
Legere-factus:
I got a bit confused about this strip, wondering how Tai and Dora were spying on Dale's internet searches. I started wondering about they could do so remotely, did Dora's basic website building knowledge now mean she could hack into his personal pc and see his screen...
Then I read the forum. I saw the more reasonable responses. I told my brain to stop thinking so round-a-bout!
