I've noticed that a lot of the people who claim that computers don't distract them are often just as distracted by computers as the rest of us. They simply don't see it as a problem. I'm not saying it's always true since some people seem to have rock solid concentration, but it seems to be true often enough to matter.
It's also worth considering that different things distract different people. Some are distracted by noise, others by friends/colleagues, many by the Internet, etc.. Yet chances are that a given person isn't distracted by all of the above.
