Daydreaming is nature's screensaver

[wibble]

For those who feel they daydream too much...

Next time your mind wanders during a dull meeting, don't feel too guilty.

New research shows that when you are bored you simply cannot help daydreaming.

Scientists have found the brain has a kind of mind-wandering "screensaver" that automatically kicks in when it is idle and put on stand-by.

This default setting means when you perform a mundane task, your brain will naturally want to make you disappear off into a world of your own.

^Would be annoying if someone changed Windows logo to your screensaver without you knowing about it... then you fall in your dreams again and PUFF there's Windows logo.
