It could mean that, yes. However, you needn't restrict yourself like
that. You can have a number of programs running (how many was that
again?), and they certainly don't have to limit themselves to either
sensors or motors. Just like on just about any computer these days,
multi tasking means that the computer can (appear to) do multiple
things at the same time. While you're busy reading this article, for
example, your MP3 player may continue playing a song, and the clock on
your desktop will update, and, well, who knows what else.

Regards,

Johannes.
