5. In dealing with today's youth, what approach should parents take? Be supportive and understanding.许多人对能同时兼顾几样工作的本领赞誉有加。然而最近研究却发现，八岁到十八岁，被称为“多媒体时代”的年轻人在同时进行多种任务的过程中常常事倍功半、了无成果。研究认为，正像依次完成各个任务一样，这些年轻人仍旧浪费了一半时间。有些年轻人在学习时还同时使用着很多电子产品。在学习的同时，他们还在上网、给朋友发邮件、打电话、听MP3或者另一台电脑上的歌。随着新产品的出现，他们的电子设备的数量还会不断增加。
另一项调查还显示：封闭的自身孤立世界里的年轻人，他们与周围人越发疏于交流。这种“兼顾”甚至影响了正常的家庭生活——年轻人到家后不再向家人问号，吃饭时也不同家人坐在一起。
人们认为在电子产品中的如鱼得水还严重影响了年轻人的在学业和工作上的表现。但当被问及现代科技产品对于他们工作表现的影响，绝大多数都认为是都是正面的。
然而不论学校公司都对此去没有好感。前者认为同时使用多种电子设备会影响儿童日后学习能力的发展，比如由缺乏完成任务的集中力而导致的写作水平下降。他们认为许多本科生都需要恶补学习技能这一课。与此相似，雇主也认为作为职场新人的年轻一代因为能力欠缺需要重新培训。
即使以上都是现实情况，也必须承认今天的年轻人被寄予越来越高的期望，实际上是太高了。他们能够应对老一辈对他们的任何要求，对此我们更应该赞许而非批评。
