Thought that if we are so easily bored in our modern society, much more than were our grandparents for example, it’s because of technology that simplify all our daily activities. When it was necessary to do the laundry in a basin, it took a lot more time than just pushing on a button to launch the washing machine, then there was no time for boredom. What do you think?

    Yeah, this is it - were addicted to distraction.

    Boredom is actually a really powerful problem solving motivator (that we’re sorely lacking lately, thanks to social cancer and phones etc).

    Try spending a few days only using your phone for important phone stuff, not entertainment and see
