Boys And Boredom by George F. Will is about how the boy human brain craves junk nourishment just like their bodies crave junk food. The article states that boredom fifty years ago was a stretch of just doing nothing for hours, but now  if boys having nothing specific to do they can get bored within thirty seconds of it. It talks about how because of all of these electric crazes like cell phones, and computers, kids are over stimulated and they are always having something going on. Because of this if kids don’t have something exciting to do then boredom occurs. “Amusement has sucked all of the boredom out of life” is a quote from the article. I agree I think kids now a days are way over stimulated, especially me. I am always on my phone, computer, iPod, or my X-Box Live account. If I went one day without my electronics I would to be “bored”. This affects the world because if people are getting over stimulated and always having fun, then people will always be bored and lose motivation in their life. People need to use electronics still in their daily life but not blow off something very important because it’s boring and play video games, get on the computer, or call someone on the phone. I know I sometimes don’t do my homework to play video games because I get to bored when I do certain work. Boys, including me need to realize the fun in life and not always think we are bored because we don’t have video games to play when we are bored.
