Have you ever read The Shallows by Nicholas Carr? It's a fantastic book on this topic. Also, Neil Postman's Amusing Ourselves To Death - but I liked the first one more.
I went to a bookstore the other day and saw like 5 or 6 newly published books with "digital detox" or reclaiming attention span themes. I think this is a growing concern for so many people now.
Maybe not so much for the digital native generations, but those of us old enough to remember pre internet times can feel that the rot is real.
