I'm an extreme version of this because it's my job to read several hundred articles every week and curate and summarize them, so my entire reading process has been optimized to rapidly grasping something, contextualizing it, and moving on. It's amazing how good you can get at this over time and I consider it to be a very positive thing in terms of my reading.
In other contexts, I think there have been a few slightly negative psychological side effects, such as struggling to watch full TV shows without fast forwarding through the "boring" bits, or choosing to watch other people playing computer games on YouTube rather than playing them myself because I get bored too easily. But in general I seem to thrive on having an impatient, jumpy brain.. for now!
