The "Comfortable Boredom" of the 80s: What we lost to the smartphone

Описание: Why was being bored in the 1980s so much better than being "connected" today?
In this video, we explore the concept of "Comfortable Boredom"—that unique analog headspace we lost when the smartphone took over. Before we had an endless stream of content in our pockets, boredom was the gateway to creativity, unexpected social encounters at the mall, and a deeper connection to the physical world.
We travel back to The Last Analog Era to revisit the sights and sounds of the 80s: from people-watching at the food court to the meditative experience of browsing a video rental store. We analyze how the death of "downtime" has changed our brains, our patience, and our culture.
In this video, we discuss:
The Death of People-Watching: How the mall was our "social internet."
Analog Patience: The ritual of waiting for a bus or a friend without a screen.
Creativity through Boredom: Why having nothing to do led to the best 80s subcultures.
Digital Fatigue: What we can learn from the 1980s to reclaim our focus today.
If you miss the days when life was slower, louder, and more tactile, this is for you.
