I have to disagree. We are not the only species, nor are we the first to experience boredom. For instance, when we leave our dogs at home for 8-10 hrs until we get home from school/work. We find a mess. The dogs are bored, thus, they will entertain themselves. Even with outside dogs. If they get bored, they will dig, jump the fence, etc so that they can explore other places besides the yard. Another example is with monkeys. They are not carnivores, thus they dont hunt per say. They have whole forests to satisfy themselves. But what is there to do in a forest besides eat, sleep, and poop? nothing. I believe boredom is 100% curable. We create boredom, we didnt create a disease. If you get tired of watching TV, go outside and play some sports, or join a club, etc. The reason most people are bored is because they grow accustomed to having everything they want. And they dont search for something else to do.

I agree. The thing is, we aren't all doomed to boredum, it's just as you said, many of us are lazy and decide to not be proactive. What stops people from going out and potecting wildlife, or going for a cancer run, or doing something productive with our time. Nothing. We just sit here and stare at the wall saying "Gosh I'm bored.. DURHH"

I believe part of humanity has gotten lazy - in the sense that people are not willing to go beyond their comfortability level and do something past ordinary or help the fellow man. Machines have allowed us to become lazy, and it will take a lot to break out of it and become more dependent on our abilities instead of what is already set up for us.

Stop acting pathetic. Humans did not create boredom. For one, have you ever seen a caged animal just sleep ALL day? that is because they do not have the chase to occupy their time. We did initially create the hindrance, but we did not create the act of being bored. Another example would be on rainy days, when we do not go outside and play, we get bored. This is not due to technology, this is because there is no way of going outside without getting sick, thus we are forced inside. Boredom is a fairly easy concept, just hard to explain.
