Great read and I definitely agree. When people used to say: "I'm bored" you could suggest they do something productive, my generation never says that because of internet, tv and video games.

I say I'm bored all the time.
Just because I have something I could do (productive or not) doesn't mean I'm motivated to do it.
'I'm bored' doesn't mean you have nothing to do, it means you have nothing that is currently interesting to you. Telling me to something you deem productive is just going to make busy and bored, assuming I did it in the first place.

Agreed, boredom is such an over used term boredom as acute apathy and/or lack of novelty.
