I guess I can’t compare the amount of my pre-Internet daydreaming to the amount of my current Internet daydreaming, but I certainly wouldn’t consider myself to be deficient in the daydreaming department. Sometimes when I’m done daydreaming I Google content related to my daydreaming. That’s actually quite fun because it leads me to unknown territory. Maybe that’s kind of weird. I don’t know.
