Boredom

Boredom

So, what did people used to do when they were bored before they could play with their mobile phones?

I'm not a mad phone user, but I was on a fairly tedious training course this week (well, the course was OK, it was some of the other people on it who couldn't follow simple instructions that slowed it down and made it tedious) and I started texting people when I got bored - I think everyone in my address book got a text from me this week, probably much to their surprise and amusement.

I'm sure people who were bored before mobile phones did something more constructive with their bored time...or maybe not, maybe they just picked their noses and wrote shopping lists.
