Boredom and Curiosity

Here’s a great thought to follow-up the post: Why Are Adults Less Creative?

‘I’m a big believer in boredom,’ [Steve Jobs] told me. Boredom allows one to indulge in curiosity, he explained, and “out of curiosity comes everything.” The man who popularized personal computers and smartphones — machines that would draw our attention like a flame attracts gnats — worried about the future of boredom. ‘All the [technology] stuff is wonderful, but having nothing to do can be wonderful, too.’

– Steve Jobs 1955-2011 (courtesty of Gina Trapani)
