Boredom: the state of being bored

Ways to resolve being bored: go on the computer, text your friends, watch television, listen to music, read a book (ha, probably not)

It's scary to think that in today's society when someone is bored the way in which it is resolved is usually through some sort of media orientated way.  Whether you go on your computer and wander through facebook for hours (which is usually what people do), text your friends about nonsense that doesn't even have a point, or just put on a television show because your just to damn lazy to do anything else, the idea of the media is all around it.  It is stalking our lives!  Why not just pick up a book and read for a while?  It's what my mom does, why can't I!  Oh yeah, because I probably do not have the attention span to sit and read a book, but I sure am able to hoop on the computer and do the most unimportant things EVERRRR.

I think after posting this I may read a book?  That could be cool; maybe learn some new vocabulary and just chill.  Ill let you know how that goes (if it even does)

  1. What the computer gives in terms of convenience it perhaps takes away in terms of thinking and feeling fully.
