I've been fighting this kind of thing for decades now (it started with Usenet), and when reading this and stuff like the Shallows...

This is going to be a huge health problem ten years from now (it must be already the largest productivity killer in the workplace), and great solutions for this will be profitable some day.

Yes, it is a huge problem. One funny way to look at the problem is that if you told someone twenty years ago that in the future there would be a TV set on every desk in every office, this person would not have believed you. Yet, the actual situation right now is much worse than that.
