DAE feel like we never get truly bored anymore?

I was watching a YouTube video called “You Need to Be Bored” and it hit me how true that is today. Anyone born before the 2010s can probably relate. Our routine used to be simple: Go to school then come home then play with friends and come home again. And on days when there was nowhere to go, we were literally stuck at home doing nothing. Just… bored. But that boredom used to be normal. When we had nothing to do, our minds wandered. We got creative. We invented games, doodled, built weird things, learned random hobbies, or just daydreamed. Boredom forced our brain to make something interesting. Now, The moment we feel even a tiny bit bored, we grab our phones. No pause, no thinking, no quiet moments. We don’t really experience boredom the way we used to and because of that, I feel like we’ve lost one of the main sources of creativity and imagination from our daily lives.
