Homo multitaskus ?

Homo multitaskus ?

Quote:

Distracted driving – is this evolution in action, leading eventually to a new kind of human being, maybe called homo multitaskus? In the long run, will distracted driving become the norm?

Faced with a seemingly unending series of wrecks and fatalities involving motorists, truckers, bus drivers and train operators who were distracted by texting or talking on a cell phone, the U.S. Department of Transportation is making multitasking motoring a federal case. The DOT is calling a distracted driving summit to focus on the problem.

While I completely agree that texting/shaving/applying makeup/etc/etc/etc while driving is a big no-no....why in the world would they coin the term "homo multitaskus"? It sounds like a homosexual who can take on several partners at once.
