Enrollarse Vs Ir al grano

They say you can't have too much of a good thing — but according to a new study, maybe you can!

Researchers from the University of Toronto in Canada found that people are feeling more bored than in the past, even though there are endless types of entertainment available.

Could this endless entertainment actually be causing increased feelings of boredom?

Possibly, the researchers say.

In their study, published in Communications Psychology, Katy Tam and Michael Inzlicht looked at data from 2009 to 2020. They also looked at the relationship between digital media and reported feelings of boredom.

They found that people are reporting higher levels of boredom than ever before, with young people and college students feeling bored more often.

Many people reported feelings of boredom after engaging with digital media, leading Tam and Inzlicht to believe this type of entertainment is increasing feelings of boredom.

Digital media, they explain, is highly stimulating, which could cause people to be less interested in activities with lower stimulation, like reading a book.

And with technology offering so many distractions, people find it more difficult to focus on a single activity and take enjoyment from it, the researchers added.

For example, looking at your phone while watching television makes it difficult to focus on what you're watching on TV, which makes it more difficult to enjoy the show.

There's also so much information available online that people often engage with quick, unrelated pieces of media, instead of longer, more meaningful information, which can leave people feeling unsatisfied and bored.

Earlier research by Tam and Inzlicht supports this idea, after it showed that switching between short videos resulted in increased feelings of boredom.

The researchers said we may need to become more comfortable with feeling bored — since not everything in life is meant to be constantly interesting!

'Endless Entertainment' May Actually Increase Boredom

S'agit-il vraiment de froideur ou d'une simple différence culturelle quand un serveur français vous sert sans le sourire attendu ? Dévoilons ensemble les subtilités qui se cachent derrière les clichés sur l'accueil français et pourquoi le fameux ressentiment envers les Américains n'est, en réalité, qu'un grand malentendu. Loin de l'antipathie, je vous emmène dans une exploration culturelle éclairée des comportements français à travers des thèmes aussi variés que la législation sur les armes, les enjeux de notre système de santé et l'unicité de notre service en restauration. Ce voyage introspectif est une promesse de découvertes où les différences ne sont plus des barrières mais des ponts entre nos mondes.

French stereotypes - Les clichés français.

In this episode, I attempt to illustrate the sound and rhythm of Old Norse through a parody saga: The Saga of Ragnar the Cat and His Fish.
What begins as a royal Sunday scene soon turns into a tragicomic meditation on fish, fate, and feline philosophy. The noble Ragnar Kǫttr, fish-king of Frogner, sits deep in thought at his table, carving shavings from a dried cod while his anxious bird-servant reminds him that Monday is near. What follows is a ritual of guilt, wisdom, and the burning of fish bones — told in the stately cadence of an Icelandic saga.
Through this humorous retelling, I explore how Old Norse language, sounds, syntax, and storytelling traditions can be reimagined today — blending philology, parody, and pure absurdity.
1. Sá atburðr varð á einum sunnudegi, at Ragnarr Kǫttr, fiskkonungr af Frogneri, sat í hásæti sínu yfir borði.
2. Hann hafði svá djúpa hugsan um fisk ok speki, at hann gáði eigi stundanna.
3. Hann hafði kníf í hendi ok telgði flísar af þurrum þorski.
4. Kjøkenþjónninn, fugl lítill ok hræddr, stóð fyrir honum ok helt fiskfat.
5. Hann sá hvat konungr gerði ok skildi, at hann sjálfr hugði at ǫðru — líklega at fiskins eðli ok örlǫgum.
6. Þá mælti fuglinn lágt: “Mánadagr er á morgin, herra fiskhyggjumaðr!”
7. Ragnarr leit til hans, er hann heyrði þetta, ok mintisk þá hvat hann hafði gǫrt: hann hafði etit alla sunnudagslaxinn einn.
8. Síðan bað hann fœra sér kertisljós — eigi til iðrunnar, heldr til skemmtanar.
9. Hann sópaði saman fiskbeinum ǫllum í hǫnd sér, þeim er hann hafði gnat.
10. Þá brá hann þeim í logann ok lét brenna bein í lófa sér, sem helga fórn fisksins anda.
11. Þaðan mátti marka, at hann myndi fast halda sín lǫg ok boðorð,
12. ok vilja eigi yfir ganga þat, er hann vissi réttast — at engi fiskr skyldi deilask meir.
