Modelled after CBC's Spark, my podcast, entitled "App Happy: Your Digital Life" explores the links between creativity and boredom, and the effect that mobile technology has had on these experiences. I was inspired to investigate this topic when I asked my boyfriend how he came up with the idea for his Master's thesis, an invention that could potentially and significantly change his industry. His response? "I got bored at work one day." This got me thinking about other such instances when boredom and creativity have been linked in conversation -- and I was curious to find out more. But then, of course, I also had to consider how the experience of boredom has changed with the advent of mobile technology -- aka, the apps that follow us everywhere.
I answer the following questions and more in my podcast: What is boredom? How do boredom and creativity relate to each other? How has the experience of boredom changed? Do all our apps and gadgets aid or hinder the creative process?
I hope you find my podcast as interesting as it was for me to research & create!
