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?
Nah, boredom comes from society spending so much focus on working a job that most people are too worn down to enjoy a hobby that most of society looks down on. Like people being made fun of for reading books, playing music, painting, and having any kind of hobby that isn’t part of a money making hustle is what kills people’s interest in most hobbies.
Then there is the scheduling issues due to needing to waste so many hours working and commuting that they are too tired to play in a community sports league or have any kind of regular activity with other people. Heck, people often spent a lot more time doing community get togethers and even just visiting friends regularly compared to today.
Surr, some people are bored because they would have enjoyed those tedious tasks, but for the most part people are discouraged from doing fun things by society.
