monitor lizard

One of those humans that sits in a room simultaneously monitoring multiple monitors arranged in a large panorama around the viewing chair, displaying a range of input sources such as the news, sports, cable tv shows, video games, porn, security cameras, etc.
For those that prefer to not disconnect from one channel to surf to the next on a single screen, but "parallel process" all of it by flitting attention back and forth between a dozen screens, information overload to the point of total saturation.
Especially popular with media/news reporting and intelligence/security ppl.
Some do it for a career, some do it for entertainment, some need to be completely distracted from reality.

We never see him outside in the day anymore, he won't answer his phone, his place reeks and is full of pizza boxes... he's turned into a monitor lizard.
