The blessing of being bored.
It's a blessing sometimes to just be bored.
So how is it a blessing to be bored?
Because when you're bored,
then you can appreciate it when you're not bored.
We're living in a day and age
where anytime we have a little dip in our entertainment,
we've gotta pull out a phone, get on a screen,
and entertain ourselves some more.
These things have only been around for what, 12, 15 years?
I mean, in mass, where everybody's got one, like a decade?
Do you think we've really had time
to study out the long-term neurological effects
that has on the minds of people,
what these devices are doing to people's minds?
It's just biology.
When you're just spiking your dopamine non-stop
with these phones, literally just pulling out the phone
and looking at it, you don't believe me?
Go without one for a month.
Get a stupid phone for a month,
then pull out your smartphone and turn it on
and see how you feel.
Wow, look how vibrant that screen is.
And just touching it, you're like, whoa.
It's amazing technology.
