Makes sense. Many of my best memories as a child started off with me being bored. My mother only let me have 30 minutes of screen time per day, computer and television combined, so the rest of the time I was forced to run around bored looking for things to do.
- finaliteration 8y agoNot only that, but screen-based entertainment wasn’t available on-demand. Remember having to wait until a certain time to watch a show you wanted to watch and figuring out something else to do while waiting? Or having to wait until someone was off the phone to use the internet? I feel like another big problem related to boredom is the general lack of patience in our society today. If I can’t have it -right now- then it’s not worthwhile. Which is unfortunate, because a lot of things worth doing require both boredom and patience.
