This was a very interesting lesson and gave me a different perspective on boredom as well as other behaviors that could be derived from it. I believe this is a very important lesson that can even be expanded upon due to the nature of modern day entertainment in which anyone can have several things providing stimuli at once which contrasts to what is expected in a classroom/testing setting.
