Digital Age: Erosion of Boredom and Depth

Our constant use of phones and social media makes it hard to find quiet time and think deeply.

Digital life values fast content and constant updates, which prevent us from reflecting.

The author draws from the philosopher Heidegger, who thought that boredom is good because it gives us time to reflect on the big questions.

Being constantly busy on digital platforms make us miss out on boredom's benefits.

Reclaiming boredom helps us think and understand ourselves better.
