What exactly is boredom? When do humans experience it? Here is an idea from the internet:

“Boredom may occur when our energy isn’t channelled into an outlet that provides meaning or fulfillment. But this encompasses a few key components. One is mental arousal, having energy you want to devote to something engaging. A second is difficulty concentrating on a single task. And a third is lack of control over your surroundings, such as in a waiting room or lecture, in which you can’t redirect your attention to a different activity.”
