Is This Mike On?

We’re all bored, it seems.

The world has come to a screeching halt. Move along. Nothing to see here.

Nothing strikes our fancy, it seems. Do a search for bored on Twitter and hundreds of references come up.

For example:

Home, Bored; nothing to do

Awfa bored. Wish I had something to do.

hmm.. very bored. someone keep me entertained please.

People are bored everywhere, it seems. It doesn’t matter if we’re at home, at school or in church.

500 channels on television and we’re bored.

Hundreds of thousands of Internet sites and we’re bored.

We have social media networks, instant messaging, music from lastfm.com and Pandora.com. And we’re still bored.

The Library of Congress includes more than 32 million cataloged books and other print materials in 470 languages. I guess we’ve run out of books to read.

None of these cash-strapped agencies need any volunteers any more. Your church probably doesn’t have anybody for you to visit.

Writing letters to family would never make them feel good. Learning a new language would be a waste of time.

Go ahead and be bored. I’ll be busy doing something else.
