Boredom

Who invented being "bored"? My brother and sister claim that they are bored. I think it is harder to be bored the older you get. I am content with doing absolutley nothing, yet they can't stand it. Other times, I understand and I want nothing but to be on the go. In the century that we are in, boredom should not be possible, there are soooooooooo many things that we can spend our time doing, yet we choose not to do them. Why do we choose not to do them!?!? I don't understand it.
