Well, no. People logging into Farmville to water a virtual garden and literally watch the grass grow are – most of them – doing so to take a break from more arduous work-like cognitive tasks.

If we're constantly learning in tiny chunks of our downtime, we no longer have any downtime. The dream of 100% "productivity" of waking hours is the industrialist's dream of strip mining of our psyches.
