The PC of your wildest dreams

Article Abstract:

Many people use computers extensively, but computers generally do not feature in their dreams. This is probably because computers are merely tools. In contrast, people who use computers creatively are more likely to dream about them. Some observers believe that there are direct connections between dreaming and the state of mind that often develops in those who surf the Web. Both in cyberspace and when dreaming, it is possible to escape from unpleasant events.

Conservation manager
