My problem I guess can be categorized as daydreaming, but what I think is happening is actually my mind going off on its on tangent to try to assimilate what I just read, for instance reading about PC hardware. I'm taking a programming class and the first chapter touches on PC hardware such as the processor, memory, etc. The chapter describes how data goes from user input into memory then to the processor and so forth.
All of a sudden I'm not reading, but envisioning some guy at a desk writing calculations on a scratch piece of paper with the words "main memory" on it and he's got the word processor on his forehead. I realized I at some point faded into my little vision of what I had just read.
This is terribly annoying. And I believe this only happens when I'm reading material that is intended to explain stuff because I don't have this wandering imagination issue when I read "The Da Vinci Code"
Make it stop. I want to be able to concentrate on my homework.
Thanks everyone,
Jose
