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)

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.
