Boredom


Boredom is defined as the state of being bored. Bored being a dull, repetitious, or uninteresting person, activity, or state, according to the english dictionary. Dull and uninteresting are uninteresting are all words that are open to individual opinion. this therefore means the only constant to boredom is repetitiveness. This means the as humans we can only take so much of routine. Do the same thing over and over sooner or later becomes boring. This is relevant also to things that may be be routine in particular. 
There are things we do at a random set place. These are people we see, checking our social networks and regular recreational activity. We may not have a set time and place to do these therefore we do not realise how repetitive they are. A good example is Facebook. As people discovered Facebook they become so hooked on it that there were on it 24/7. This resulted in people later claiming of "being bored of Facebook".  
Entertainment is the certified cure of boredom. it is created to rid our lives of boredom. How then do we proceed when entertainment becomes boring? We move from Facebook to twitter? And when twitter becomes boring, to Instagram? How long is it until we get nostalgic and miss Facebook? I find myself bored surrounded by all sorts of entertainment and interaction but I am still bored. How do i cure myself then from this state? I know someone will most likely say try something new. When people say this, they don not wait to think about accessibility, yes in another life i could go try sky driving or snow boarding.
