All this excess of information, games, shows and everything else is ruining our boredom, which is usually what leads us to think more creatively (programming.dev)

We're kinda spoiled with "all the X we could want, whenever we want".

I remember being bored out if my mine as kid. Pre internet days, and older brothers hogging the Nintendo. When I had nothing to do I'd just feel terrible, I'd mope around the house. I'd take things apart or act out just to get some kind of stimulation. I wouldn't wish that on anyone. Let the kids have some entertainment.

Some is ok, but not to the point of making Netflix/YT babysit the kids, please.
