We last featured one of The Atlantic’s humorous videos here—last week, they released another amusing short clip that also features senior editor James Hablin.
This entertaining video starts off on the subject of our current obsession with checking our phones—according to the data presented in the video, “most people check their phones between 50 and 100 times every day”. This means that with a smartphone at hand, we no longer have to feel bored and our minds no longer have the opportunity to wander, with nothing to stimulate it.
Drawing the link between boredom and creativity, New Tech City radio host Manoush Zomorodi brought Hablin through an experiment so as to let him experience “purposeful boredom”, which is based on the concept that one has the tendency to come up with a creative idea when one is bored.
Watch the video below—do you think that you would be more creative if you stop checking your phone compulsively?
