Distractions - always negative?

Hi All,

   Just wanted to kick about an idea - is distraction always negative? For
example if a site features some additional AT, say TTS or symbol support,
they may wish to have an animation or something to draw your attention to
it - or if they have active help they may have a help pop-over.

   These things are distracting, and take focus from content consumption
but do so for a positive reason.

   So is distraction always a negative thing?
