Say in the mid-1900s, what do you think most bored people did? There's no whipping out your phone and going on TikTok, YouTube, internet forums, playing video games, etc. What do you think a bored person would do? What would you do if you were bored in that time period?
I actually feel super blessed I grew up right before the internet became hyper-accessible, as a lot of my childhood was spent outside with my neighbors doing typical kid stuff (playing in the woods, fun games, sports, banter, etc.) Kind of feel bad for kids now, that the ideal "school day off" is hopping on COD in your room for hours. Genuinely think if you were born after 2009, you're a different person.

. I feel like the technology to total happiness output peaked around the 80s and will continue to fall from there. That is, until the 80s, I think technology solved more problems than it caused by medical advances, international travel, etc, but now I think it's causing more problems than it's solving. Maybe should do separate post on this.
