Seems pretty far-fetched to me. If I spontaneously read up something on wikipedia I remember that for a very long time, that's learning, yet the video says we cannot learn because our brains adapt to being constantly distracted. But when those distractions are informative wikipedia articles, we're still learning?
So all it really says is reading your mail and chatting while studying is bad because you can't focus, and that was pretty obvious already?

With the way the beginning of the video goes, I think this video is trying to target your average person that pretty much uses the internet for Facebook, Twitter, Tumblr, YouTube, and all the other popular sites.

Yeah, thought of that too. It made me think the problem the video adresses lies more with the people, not the method of information intake.
