Well the computer can do things in paralell. Most human beings, and
according to stereotypes especially male human beings are only single
tasking, (like the mouse focus).
So if you want to find out what a user is busy with I guess, that the
title of the window in focus is probaly a very reasonable indicator.

Of course if you want to find out what the computer is busy with, then
you should make statistics of the processes and heir cpu loads.
