Is multiprogramming possible without interrupts?

Comment

Without interrupts, it would be impossible to implement multiprogramming 
or timesharing. A busy-wait would be required so one job couldn't run during 
another job's I/O wait. 
Without a timer interrupt, time slices can't be created to divide the CPU among 
jobs. Interrupts themselves must be synchronized
