Boredom is good for you, its linked to creativity

I just found this article about boredom, and watched the TED talks link that was linked to it. Some people say boredom is as dangerous as depression, but i dont belive that. This TED talk gave me a little more information about what i think it the positive sides of boredom, and why I belive its so well linked to creativity, and to think outside the box.

Social media like Facebook, Instagram and other platform is a great teknologi, if its used right. If its used wrong i belive it could have a damaging effect on you. When we are bored we tend to go on social media to find information, simply because we go for the easiest information possible. This is called "monkeybrain", and it makes oss stupid. Even dough i know what this does to me, I still go in the trap, and go into the "social media hole", and end opp spending time on useless stuff, instead of something productive. This is whats so dangerous about social media, its and addiction, and its killing this generation.

Please have a read, and watch the TED presentation
