digistraction is a portmanteau word coined by J. Lueders (from "digital" and "distraction"); it describes the capability of digital media, particularly the Internet, to draw someone’s attention away from something by making them look at something else, often a succession of other things, e.g. web sites.

Still a productive method for word formation - latest example: digistraction ... something we all suffer from, more or less
