Oh, absolutely. I do the whole "pause and do something else" thing too, which the OP calls Nerd ADD [1]. Netflix + tabbed browsing is especially conducive to it. My point is that flipping through channels every 5 seconds makes us sound like nerd robots from the future, which I at least am not.
On re-reading, this article comes off as more measured and less apologist, but the "nerd robot from the future" aspect still comes through.
