I don't think so.  I find that when I look up something on for example
Wikipedia, I find myself following many of the links in its articles
which take me to all sorts of places unrelated to my original quest. In
fact I sometimes run the danger of forgetting what I was originally
looking for -- but on the other hand memory loss is attributable to age,
and I qualify for such loss on the ground of age.
