What does "Polychronic" mean?
Edward T. Hall
coined the term in his book "The Silent Language," to mean any form of culture or communication that perceives time in multiple, non-linear ways.
America has generally been regarded as a "monochronic" culture, perceiving time in a linear way; monochrons prefer to take on one task at a time.
With the advancements being made in today's technology, especially in modes of communication, many American's are developing varying levels of polychronicity, or the ability to multi-task.
