This provides a much higher degree of concentration, something many individuals lack today. It is a powerful skill that should be nutured. Compare it to the eastern philosophy of calming and concentrating the mind.

Many students who prefer to multi-task while doing their homework, do not want to do their homework at all. There is no initial concentration in the first place, which can be a reason to multi-task. I would argue that in other instances where a student is concentrated on their homework, but simple chooses to do other things as well, could do so effectively.
