Lost in Screens: Why Modern Comfort Is Killing Our Creativity

avatar

If you look back a few years, times were quite different. There were far fewer resources for entertainment, which led to boredom and a greater creative edge. However, nowadays, if you have free time, you'll often sit down with your phone or entertain yourself with any number of electronic gadgets. Some people prefer talking to others, while others spend their free time scrolling through social media. Everyone has a different approach to things. Some are very specific about their goals and can't break their routine. But nowadays, everyone wants to be a pessimist. Therefore, many platforms are generating significant profits. You can find numerous entertainment platforms, like Netflix, Amazon Prime, and countless others, to entertain yourself. Among these are free platforms, YouTube and Instagram. There are so many platforms through which you can entertain yourself, and you can remain entertained continuously without any interruption; you just need to have a proper internet connection.

Nowadays, the internet has become a fairly common thing. If you go back 10-15 years, it wasn't half as common. We had it, but it wasn't as common. There used to be a lot of offline stuff, but now everything is online. You have a separate app for everything, and you can order any content at any time. But when people are bored, they turn to creativity and do something they enjoy. But nowadays, you don't have time for all this. You're so engrossed in your smartphones and electronic gadgets that you don't have time to do anything else. Everyone is busy with something. If I talk about myself, my routine is pretty fixed, and I spend most of my time in my room, except on weekends, when I occasionally go out for a walk. You see, it is very important to have boarding in your life because after some time you start understanding and being creative, no matter how many videos you watch or how many things you see, if you do not do any work, then all that is seen is useless.

If you have a passion for teaching something, then keep trying something new and one day you will surely find success. To be honest, I don't do it that much because I am very lucky that my parents and family provide all these things. So I get a lot of time to do whatever I want to do, but sometimes it happens that I want to do a lot of things but I am not able to do them because I start doing things which I had not planned for, like if I come back from office and I have a lot of time, I think that today I will do something productive or learn something new, but when I come home, then after that I either start watching a web series or waste my time in some other thing. And the only reason behind all this is that I have an internet connection and a lot of electronic devices. To be honest, I have a laptop and about four mobile phones. Some are broken, but their condition is such that I can operate them, and the internet works. Some have microphone problems, some have camera problems, but one is my phone, which I use regularly. Apart from that, I have three other mobile phones. If my mobile phone doesn't have a charge, I use it.

So you see, I don't want to bore myself at all, but I am able to distract myself only when there is some kind of problem with the internet connection. Sometimes, if I need it, I get an internet pack on my phone. Otherwise, with the help of WiFi, I never needed anything because I have Wi-Fi at home, and where I work also has Wi-Fi. When we are bored, we sometimes do 12 things that we have not even thought of. Most of the time I remain free in wickets, I remain bored the whole day. If I do not feel like watching any web series, then I go for a walk or go to my friend's shop and chat with him there, this is my routine. But see, if you learn to get bored and control your limits, then you will see a lot of changes in your life. Sometimes I get very bored with everything, then I read books, and then sometimes I fall asleep while reading a book.

Sometimes I have also tried this, when I am bored, I do some light cutting of trees or start cleaning the house, that is also very good, your mood changes, and a different kind of positivity starts coming in you. Often, whenever the internet connection goes off, I think about such things that I really wanted to do but could not do it for any reason. And whatever comes to my mind, I start doing it. If you have a mobile phone and it is fully charged and there is an internet connection as well, then you want to do a lot of work but are not able to do it. Often this happens with those people who also do not have any goals in their lives. If you have goals in your life, then you put in all your efforts to achieve them. And if someone doesn't have any goals in life, they just wander from place to place, not caring about how much time they're wasting.

In the end, I'd just like to say, if you want to do something good, something new, then keep telling yourself, and only then will many ideas be implanted in your mind.

I want to give my own perspective. I get creative because I see other people doing things online. I want to try it, I want to try a different technique, and then I go and do it. Most of my essay ideas also come from people or from what’s happening in the world.

It doesn’t come from boredom in my case. It comes from other people creating a spark in my head. That’s just how my brain works. If I were just sitting quietly at home, I wouldn’t get a spark of any kind. I know that about myself. It might be because I have aphantasia and can’t see any mental images.

So that’s that. These were just my five cents on the matter.

Indeed many people get bored and from the boredom the depression can also come. Online activity indeed something that stopping us for being creative but at the same time it's can be a reason to be creative depends of how we use it. In my case I have time to stay in online nearly 6-8 hours in a day and I spend most of my time in hive and it's not the waste of my time either as it's generating money for me.
