Why is this downvoted ? It's true, the more immersive/captivating a show is, the less attention you naturally give to anything else. Games are more immersive by design, which is why gamers are not wired to "half do" something. 

I do feel the same, if a show is uncatching to the point where I mechanically switch to side activities (social medias, etc), then it simply means it's boring and I should do something else

Sure, but I can still watch a deeply engaging show while eating dinner. I can't press X+RB+Left Directional and cut a chicken breast at the same time.
