Don’t get bored
I‘ve heard some young people saying they are bored (here and in real life as well).Today they have the most amazing devices and technology that I’d never imagined when I was a boy. However they don’t appreciate what are available because they got used to them. I remember when I was a child I used to wait the whole day to watch the only cartoon that only lasted ½ hour every day. Instead today kids are overwhelmed with hundreds of channel 24 hours transmitting, high definition, etc.
Consequently: they get bored.
I never imagined I’d write and share with people all around the world and I appreciate it too much. Hopefully I’ll not ever get used to it so I avoid getting bored.
It seems to me that older guys like me, who have lived and remember the past, can appreciate what we have today. In contrast those who were born with this new technology are too used to them and therefore they feel themselves bored.

Very cool.
Bring back the hand written letter...
Take their laptop and cellphone and they are lost souls wandering around. Don't know how to connect these days without their devices, how to communicate.
On the other hand, its not all their fault I think, its the world we live in and the way parents do. Most of us want our children to have anything we never had, and therefore think they
create happy people, the opposite is what happens.
I do remember the day we got a T.V I was 13 years young and it had 1 channel and 1 broadcast, saturday evening. I also remember the day we got telephone connection, I was 19, and that only happend because my dad was real sick, we lived among farmers in the country, and we need to have that incase...
otherwise it would have taken a lot more years I,m sure of that.
And its not only the younger ones, I know a lot of people that live with their phone glued on their ears, afraid to miss?????????
I,m glad my kids do value the things they have and do have time for others, less fortunate, they know the importance of real connection and I,m proud of them.
And ofcourse not all thing where better in the old days.
Yes, another thing that older people get as habit (at least me) is device must be used till they don’t work anymore (and there is not possibility to fix them up).
New generation instead leave their cell phone 6 months age because there is a new version with more functions. Unthinkable to me
Funny...I was never bored - can't even remember saying that even once! My dad worked all the time, my mom and grama cooked, baked and cleaned, and us kids (5 of us) were happy, healthy and grew up quite well.
How things have changed!!!
