Sometimes, I fear that phones and the ubiquity of the internet have abolished boredom. As a kid, having my own computer was incredible because I could spend my summers watching South Park and YouTube videos instead of being bored 90% of the time. At the same time, I still had to do things with my family and go to functions that I would rather not attend, and that's where the boredom came in. I didn't have a smartphone at the end of the summer pool party where I had no friends: I had to make my own fun. Now, if kids are bored in public, their parents will drop a phone into their hands to quickly solve the problem. I know this doesn't mean much coming from someone who is constantly using my phone in some way, but boredom is valuable, and some of us need more of it.
If your job and life are mostly dull, you don't need any more boredom. These hilarious memes can help fight it, if only for a while.
