I plan on reading this book. It's called "Stolen Focus" and is on this very topic.

Also, Jon Favreau's YouTube series called "Offline" is excellent. He talks about all the things "online" that affect the rest of our lives. One of my favorite interviews he's done is with Max Fisher who wrote "The Chaos Machine" which I just finished reading. It's excellent.
