TheBirthofMultitasking

Thescienceofinterruptionsbeganmorethan100yearsagowiththeemergenceoftelegraphoperators--thefirsthigh-stress,time-sensitiveinformation-technologyjobs.Psychologistsdiscoveredthatifsomeonespoketoatelegraphoperatorwhilehewaskeyingamessage,theoperatorwasmorelikelytomakeerrors.Later,psychologistsdeterminedthatwheneverworkersneededtofocusonajobthatrequiredthemonitoringofdata,presentationwasallimportant.Usingthisknowledge,cockpits(駕駛艙)forfighterpilotswerecarefullydesignedsothateachdialandmetercouldbereadwithjustaglance.

Still,suchissuesseemedremotefromthelivesofeverydayworkers.Then,inthe1990s,computersbegantoexperiencearapidincreaseinspeedandpower."Multitasking"wasborn;insteadofsimplyworkingononeprogramforhoursatatime,acomputeruserworksonseveralsimultaneously.Officeworkersnowstareatcomputerscreensofoverwhelmingcomplexity,astheyjuggle(操縱)messages,textdocuments,PowerPointpresentationsandWebbrowsers.Inthemodernofficeweareallfighterpilots.

Fromtheirstudentbodiestotheirresearchpractices,universitiesarebecomingmoreglobal.

ByRichardLevin

Asneverbeforeintheirlonghistory,universitieshavebecomeinstrumentsofnationalcompetitionaswellasinstrumentsofpeace.Theyarethelocusofthescientificdiscoveriesthatmoveeconomiesforward,andtheprimarymeansofeducatingthetalentrequiredtoobtainandmaintaincompetitiveadvantage.Butatthesametime,theopeningofnationalborderstotheflowofgoods,services,informationandespeciallypeoplehasmadeuniversitiesapowerfulforceforglobalintegration,mutualunderstandingandgeopoliticalstability.

Inresponsetothesameforcesthathavepropelledtheworldeconomy,universitieshavebecomemoreself-consciouslyglobal:seekingstudentsfromaroundtheworldwhorepresenttheentirespectrumofculturesandvalues,sendingtheirownstudentsabroadtopreparethemforglobalcareers,offeringcoursesofstudythataddressthechallengesofaninterconnectedworldandcollaborativeresearchprogramstoadvancescienceforthebenefitofallhumanity.

Oftheforcesshapinghighereducationnoneismoresweepingthanthemovementacrossborders.Overthepastthreedecadesthenumberofstudentsleavinghomeeachyeartostudyabroadhasgrownatanannualrateof3.9percent,from800,000in1975to2.5millionin2004.Mosttravelfromonedevelopednationtoanother,buttheflowfromdevelopingtodevelopedcountriesisgrowingrapidly.Thereverseflow,fromdevelopedtodevelopingcountries,isontherise,too.Todayforeignstudentsearn30percentofthedoctoraldegreesawardedintheUnitedStatesand38percentofthoseintheUnitedKingdom.Andthenumbercrossingbordersforundergraduatestudyisgrowingaswell,to8percentoftheundergraduatesatAmerica'sIvyLeagueinstitutionsand10percentofallundergraduatesintheU.K.IntheUnitedStates,20percentofnewlyhiredprofessorsinscienceandengineeringareforeign-born,andinChinathevastmajorityofnewlyhiredfacultyatthetopresearchuniversitiesreceivedtheirgraduateeducationabroad.

Whataretheconsequencesoftheseshiftsamongthehighlyeducated?Considerthis:onthenightaftertheattacksontheWorldTradeCenter,JewishstudentsatYale(mostofthemAmerican)cametogetherwithMuslimstudents(mostofthemforeign)toorganizeavigil.Orthis:everyyearthestudent-runForumforAmerican/ChineseExchangeatStanford(FACES)organizesconferencesinbothChinaandatStanford,bringingtogetherstudentsfrombothcountrieschosentodiscussSino-U.S.relationswithleadingexperts.Theleadersofstudentgroupspromotinginternationalcollaborationareintouchwitheachotherdailyviae-mailandSkype,technologiesthatnotonlyfacilitatecooperativeprojectsbutalsoincreasethelikelihoodofcreatinglifelongpersonalties.Thebottomline:theflowofstudentsacrossnationalborders--studentswhoaredisproportionatelylikelytobecomeleadersintheirhomecountries--enablesdeepermutualunderstanding,toleranceandglobalintegration.
