With all the technologies around us, do you still get bored? Bored of working too much, you have a computer to turn to and look for ways to entertain you. Bored of your friends, you can always find friends online. Bored of the food at home, you just have to call and a home delivery fast food is so quick to arrive. Bored of the same thing you do every day at home, the shopping centers have a lot of entertaining activities. Shopping centers are every where. Bored of using the same technology, well as long as you have money you can always have the newest released technology from the companies you adore. Because of having a lot of choices, people became picky and also gets easily bored. People wanted more comfort at any time they want. What about you? Do you easily get bored? What do you do if you get bored? Thanks for sharing!

Hello friend Yeah! I agree with all the things that you've mentioned above. We wanted to do more and find more comfort at any time. Even using the newest or high tech gadgets today we still fell uncomfortable and bored. In my case, if boredom strikes me I always call my sister from distant place and talk with my cute niece. Try to bother someone through calling them, sending graphics or text messages. Hmmm, by the way these days I noticed that playing computer games is my one way to divert my boredom. Playing angry birds, Plants vs Zombies entertain me a lot. Thank you for sharing and have a great day friend...^_^

Those games are cool. My husband loves to play those. I like text twist and bejeweled. Good for you for having nieces. If I don't want to play I just go to a coffee shop and sit there and read a book.

getting bored is like a habit. As for me who is unemployed yet, is getting used to get bored everyday. I always look for some things to do just to keep myself busy. I clean my room, I watched TV, I tried to learn cooking and most of my time is spent in surfing the net or reading books. Sometimes I bother my friends to hang out, to get somewhere and spend a day away from home just to get rid of my evreyday routine.

Sometimes i do get bored, when i am just at home. But the computer is just thee to cure my boredom, or i can just listen to music. But i cannot do that if there is no electricity, which rarely happens though. but if it does, i either sleep or read books.

I have a very boring life! But seriously, if other people would see how I am and how I was when I was younger, they would surely way that I have a boring life. I grew up by just mostly staying at home. I wasn't allowed by my parents to stay out with friends. So, basically, I am with my friends only at school. I had a boring teenage life! Now, I am married with 4 kids, still I am stuck in the house the whole day since I no longer work in an office. It could be really boring to be just inside a "box". But I am glad I have my laptop with me coz it keeps me company while my kids are in school. When I am asked by my sister in law to come with her to the mall, I would join her. But sometimes, I'd rather stay at home so I wouldn't me spending on unnecessary things.

I have different things to do when I get bored. I like to play games, or crochet, going for a walk helps because I like to make a game to see things that I might not have seen before. Then there is always a good ol nap.

Good old nap is always beneficial. Women have a lot of ways to get boredom over. Making crafts is also good.

I do get bored once in a while but usually this happens when I'm tired or when I didnt have enough sleep the night before, because if I'm not really tired I could be doing something else already, haha! Anyway, but for some reason that I am not tired and yet I still feel bored, I just take the opportunity to pamper myself or do something a bit different. A new haircut, new nail polish, a mani or pedi. Or if I have a bigger budget on hand and some time to spare, I will go on a short vacation just to have a change of scenery for awhile.

Boredom is like a passing insect. I just have to wait until it goes away. But there are times its too pesky to ignore so I turn on the music player in my computer and play some songs or tv shows.

it is said that man by nature is uncontented. when i got bored i usually go to internet and looking up for celebrities or watch movies with my family or doing mylotting. mylotting is my best thing to do to express something that i would like to share. its something where i can explore and enjoy learning and at eventually earning . it is a package wherein time is never been wasted .

When I get bored I admit I turn to my laptop. I love playing the games on Facebook, but I also use it to make a little extra money on sites such as MyLot. When I get bored of doing that then I will either watch TV or read a book.

Laptop is a best friend nowadays. It provides different kinds of or alternatives of entertainment. But going back to the old ways, reading a book is always fun. It's peaceful and educational.

Oh well. Good point there. Instead of wasting your time looking for something to do, why not rest the body in preparation for something big to come on the later part of the day.

Whenever I am bored I work on my crafts. I make earrings and now with the holidays upon us I will be working on my Christmas Ornaments. I am in college and I told myself that I will get my school work done by Wednesday and then have the rest of the week and weekend (Thursday-Sunday)to get my earrings done and start on the Christmas ornaments. I am trying to get my school work that is due Thanksgiving week done the week before so I can enjoy the whole Thanksgiving week. I cook also when I am bored or clean house.

Life goes up and down so that we can't avoid a feel of bored. I used to be in that mood but we have to get rid of it. I try to eat, listening music or going out to chat with friends, i will do whatever i want...or thinking of happy thing... Life is very short, we can't spend much time to be bored, right?

I am often bored now since I currently have no job and just stays at my home in the province so I usually just surf the net and watch movies, but that gets me bored now too. I want to go out with friends but they have work of their own in the city and it is difficult for me to meet them after office hours because I have to go back to the province. Also, I am trying to budget my money until I find a new job. I guess I am really just not a stay-at-home type so I get bored. I have some books here I have not read, maybe its time to start on them now to get me occupied. :)
