According to dictionary.com, multitasking is the ability to execute more than one tasks, or programs, by a CPU. Because each individual task utilizes storage and other resources, multitasking does not //allow an unlimited number of tasks to be completed simultaneously. The more tasks are employed at one time, the slower the device may become and the appliance may begin to run out of storage. An example of multitasking occurs when one opens word and a web browser at the same time. An operating system allows you to work efficiently by both keeping track of your progress and activities, and allowing you to go back and forth between two or more programs without losing information.//
