There are different views on the attention span thing. A quick google search turned up The Gaurdian: mixed results on attention span from March 2013 and The Gaurdian again, Definitely reduced attention span from March 2012

I googled "does the internet affect attention span" A link to the results

On the other question, if I'm sitting, enjoying a good book, I will either respond quickly, ignore the text, or just not hear my phone go off, and I'm generally none the worse.
