Nowadays, people have earned more free time than before since we are at the premises of our homes. We spend our time mindlessly scrolling through social media, playing internet games, or maybe even watching cat videos for an hour. Throughout history, technology has cut down a lot of work that we would have to do, like vehicles, research, electricity, and other jobs similar to this. Technology has given us more time to do the things we want.
With this increased free time, boredom has become more prevalent. What was once solved simply now became ironically hard to solve. We feel that the time we are in is considered a waste. Our feeling of laziness and unmotivation daunts us every now and then.
However, it does not follow that boredom comes with negative things. It is mostly about how we solve the “boredom problem''. Recently, many people have found new hobbies to escape the grasp of boredom. Others have started reading, creating new dishes, and learning new life skills. Others have even made careers with their newfound hobbies. The internet can lead you to many different sites that could help you in learning new knowledge or skills, even if you lack the ability to do so.
Boredom isn't all that bad. It can generate creativity and knowledge in unexpected ways. Perhaps it can even create something beautiful. So next time you are sitting at your desk and feel bored, try doing something new. Who knows what you could do with the help of boredom?
