    The speaker's project was exploring the benefits of boredom and encouraging people to unplug from technology. They discussed how constant streaming of information from apps and devices leaves no time for creativity. The speaker came up with an experiment where participants lived an unplugged lifestyle, which increased their productivity and creativity. Frequent phone use can be addictive, and the speaker's challenge of limiting phone use could help combat boredom and waste of free time on unproductive activities like social media. While multitasking allows accomplishing multiple tasks, it is less efficient and increases mistakes since attention is divided between tasks. Technology is designed to trigger feelings of needing to check phones for social connection.

    ELMS REVIEW

    Watch 09 Video 1 and answer the guide questions below. Strictly limit your answers to three (3)
    sentences per item.

    1. What was the speaker’s project/idea?


    Answer: During the speaker's presentation, he describes the wonders of boredom, and the
    speaker encourages people to unplug from technology throughout the day. Continuous and
    perpetual streaming of information and entertainment is making people's lives worse. According
    to her, humans have lost the element of creativity due to a lack of boredom in the modern era of
    advanced technology. They used to drown in the ocean of different apps that were installed on
    their iPhones or other handheld devices and kept them from doing anything practical.

    2. How did the speaker come up with the idea?


    Answer: The speaker presents her listeners with an experiment that helps them live an unplugged
    lifestyle. Afterwards, participants feel an increase in productivity and creativity as a result of
    spacing out. Furthermore, she teaches about maintaining aloofness from digital devices and
    resisting the urge to check for notifications every minute.

    3. Was her project informative? List down all the information you learned from her TED talk.
    Answer: The video completely changed my mind. Being in a boredom is not so bad, and even very
    useful. You can plunge into your thoughts and come up with some useful ideas, instead of sitting
    on social networks, that spend our free time. Social networks grab all our free time, that we can
    spend on ourselves or our family and friends. Checking mails and notifications became some kind
    of disease nowadays. So, the challenge offered by speaker seems hard but necessary for a lot of
    us. In this case I would try to avoid checking my phone all the time.

    4. How frequently do you use your phone? Can you see yourself doing the speaker’s challenge?
    Why?
    Answer: I used my phone every time or should I say I’m addicted on using smartphone. After
    watching the video, I wanted to try this practice, because I spend a lot of time behind the phone,
    not even paying attention to it. I do not always have time to go somewhere and do something
    because of the fact that I waste time on emptiness, I stopped giving myself and my family
    enough time, which is very bad. In my opinion, this video is very informative and useful,
    especially for those who have problems with creativity and boredom. I believe that this program
    is a good method of combating boredom. For example, if I struggled with boredom, watching
    TV, sitting in social networks, now I want to change it and do something really useful.

    5. What are the possible implications of multitasking? Do we finish more, or do we complete fewer
    tasks than focusing on one (1) task at a time?
    Answer: By multitasking, we can accomplish a lot on our to-do list. Nevertheless, doing more
    than one task at a time can affect our performance. The two tasks that we are focusing on at the
    same time are not equally distributed among us when we multitask. As a result, we rapidly
    switch from one task to another. The overall result is that the time spent switching between
    tasks is much less productive - the work takes longer to complete, and the chance of making
    mistakes is much greater.

    6. According to the search engineer at Google, why is the technology built to trigger social media
    users an itchy feeling if they are not with their phones?
    Answer: It is because people feel connected when using their phone. They have this urge to
    always use their phone for social connection to be always informed on the happenings in the
    social media.
