Radio was a bad analogy but how about books or newspapers? As another commenter has mentioned in this sub-thread, there has always been some kind of attention divide like screen has been for our age. Also, we may discard books as a source of distraction but my question is whether it is so because we are used to it.

Books/newspaper are indeed something else, but still quite different. I'm not sure if this is too general, but I don't think anybody takes a book everywhere he/she goes, and picks it up in the middle of a conversation to read 1 or 2 lines, then put it back again.
