>god forbid they might otherwise feel 2 seconds of boredom. All the other things aside, this is, in my opinion, the worst part, and will have the longest, most negative implications for society. Boredom is when you are allowed to explore your own mind, daydream, think about things. We have eliminated it. Anecdotal - we live 45 minutes away from the nearest "city" with grocery stores. We do not let our children use technology during these drives; they're only 45 minutes. Our friends all treat us like we're awful people. Boredom is good for children. It encourages thought and introspection. Eliminating opportunities for boredom, as a species, I am sure will have negative repercussions we cannot imagine.
