Back in the 80's and early 90's I hauled around a few massive "cookbook" tomes. In the mid 90's to the early 00's, I hauled around large CD binder with MSDN and other books on CD. Now, I just have my work PC and my phone. I'm glad I can find the same info plus a whole lot more online today.

So far as online distractions, I'm pretty good at staying focused on the task at hand. I don't answer Stack Overflow questions or get involved in forum/blog discussions when I'm working on a program. I save that for off times.
