A new research has shown that absent minded kids have a sharper brain. Researchers concluded that children who are constantly distracted are able to hold far more information than their attentive peers.

Lead author of the study, Daniel Levinson of University of Wisconsin-Madison said, "Those with higher working memory capacity reported more mind wandering during the simple tasks even though their performance was not compromised."
The study is published online in the journal Psychological Science.
