Indeed. I guess measurement of your "brain function or well-being" might not show any difference, but the way you perceive those activities might have changed completely.

I have a similar observation regarding Movies. Funny how this can be improved by watching a movie in cinema, a purpose of cinema which silently grows while the original purpose of "better audio/video experience" is fading...

there is James Cameron quote, something to the effect of "a movie ticket is a contract between you and the director that you're going to give this uninterrupted attention"

Brilliant. When I buy I physical book, I make a contract between myself and author. But without the third party intermediary (in Cameron’s case, the cinema) screen time sneaks in and invalidates my contractual obligations.
