Boredom Has Been Driven Into Eternity

i still remember what it was like to walk into a blockbuster video looking for a movie to watch, and spending some intolerable amount of time roaming the aisles there. Now we have access to so much information and entertainment and itis becoming so frictionless. i would expect that our attention span, which is to say, are our tolerance for boredom, or just the uncertainty of what our attention is going to land on in a satisfying way, is growing shorter. On one level, i feel like boredom is almost gone. But on another level, i feellike we are being tuned to be less and less resilient to boredom than we've ever been ye.
