While an interesting concept this just seems to be a term made up by a blogger, with the Wikipedia article solely existing to link to a few sites by the blogger and others rehashing the concept.
This is not a scientific term, nor does there seem to be any research on what this is and whether the premises are right. E.g. the 'multi-tasking' research found very clearly that there's no such thing as multi-tasking, rather we switch rapidly between tasks and this context-switching is not very efficient. I don't see how 'continuous partial attention' would be possible in light of this.
