How do I increase my ability to focus?

[JMV]

I constantly lose my ability to focus and can't pay attention when reading--especially when it's something about programming/computers/introduces a new concept. I'll see something in a book about computers or programming and then get up and read the article on Wikipedia, then click a few links and read more. I then get bored and go back to Boyah or Reddit.

How do i stop myself from trying to get up and read an article on an interesting subject while i'm trying to finish the book?
