Technology and Multitasking

While looking over some articles for my future of literacy paper, I noticed something about the electronics we have today and multitasking.  The newer technology we have, the more we can do on them at once.  Like on almost any cell phone now, for instance, you can play a game and still receive text messages.  Not to mention the IPhone IPad and everything you can do on them.  Do you think this has contributed to the shift from deep attention to hyper attention cognitive style that Hayles is talking about in her paper?
