Am I the only one that can’t help seeing irony here? Search for a constant attention and distraction may not lead to a better mental condition, if not making worse as subsequents boring times will be even more boring.
Here’s some alternatives some phoneless can engage while staring at a speaker:
- imagine another life for the speaker
- mentally check your grocery list
- build inner abs, perineum and other hidden muscles
- wank yourself from a hidden hole in you pocket
- think what where the outcome and what you could have done differently in previous social interactions
- my favorite : deeply concentrate on all noises, voices sounds that does not come from the speaker itself.
Also congratulations, AFAIK this is a novel game ideas. Being bored leaded here to creativity.
