From Jargon File (4.3.1, 29 Jun 2001) :   [ jargon ]

  multitask n. Often used of humans in the same meaning it has for
     computers, to describe a person doing several things at once (but see
     thrash). The term `multiplex', from communications technology (meaning
     to handle more than one channel at the same time), is used similarly.
