In George F. Will's Lost in Electronica boys are bored more often. The article states that boys are now bored after 30 seconds of not having anything to do; it used to be that boys were bored after 2 hours of not having anything to do. The article states that boys are now becoming bored more often because they are playing more video games and becoming more involved with their electronics. This matters to me because I know that I am bored a lot of the time now and that it will affect how my mood is and how I focus. It also means that I am using electronics to much now, which is affecting my brain. To education,boys that are becoming bored after 30 seconds is not good for learning because that means that the teachers will not be able to teach as well because boys will be day dreaming. The boys will not be able to focus as well in class because they are getting bored more often. To the world, boys being affected by the electronics has made it so that they are losing social skills and are putting themselves at a disadvantage in life because they are not able to communicate with people. As a result boys that are bored could be lonely and unemployed. This article is like Is Google Making Us Stupid? because the brains of people and boys have been changed by electronics. Electronics have changed the way boys and people think, are they really helping us. Or are they a benevolent device used for resources.
