Is the end of boredom a good thing?

January 6, 2006 by Pamela Parker

Mark Cuban hits the nail on the head with a post titled “The end of boredom”. His point? In this technology/media-fueled modern world, one need never stare into space. One need never spend a few moments inside one’s head, just thinking. One need never look around at other people who may be sharing one’s space — at the gym, on the train, on the street. Instead, we’re listening to music, watching TV, and otherwise keeping ourselves entertained during those little pauses in our lives. Is this a good thing for society? (It may be a great thing for media makers and advertisers….)
