I totally agree something has to exists cuz the other does. Nothing can coexist without the other thing. And you can see that in our EVERYDAY life literally. Boredom in general (or maybe in our culture) is viewed as a negative thing and everyone’s reaction towards it is completely absurd as their natural reflex is to tell us to just “go do something interesting enough” or “go find yourself a hobby” and I also agree that it varies from generation to other which is the whole point of it cuz our parents and the older generation even when there was nothing enough for them to do, their boredom ratio wasn’t this high, but now with EVERYTHING available to us we still get bored. Why? Because we grew accustomed to these “everything” things that they became so boring to us. But the main key is ‘Boredom’ and even when it’s the cause it’s actually the solution and the savior to all of this. Only when we use it wisely! and reversed the whole equation on it!

Very interesting topic , and well stated too! I also once heard someone say something like .. "get used to being by oneself, without any stimuli , alone and at peace..you'll be suprised at what you'll learn". I truly believe the over stimulation of technology does the conscious mind much harm if not given time to rest..Great TEDTalk🙂
