I love technology and spend a great deal of time online. But I don't need to look up other authors or hit Wikipedia when I'm reading a book. I like to focus and enjoy the words, not bounce back and forth between the book and other activities.
This isn't to say that I never run across people, events, and words that I want to look into further when I read. I do, all the time! But if my curiosity is truly piqued, I have no problem remembering to look them up online later, when I'm at the computer. It just isn't that hard for me to wait.
