Bored and Brilliant: Embracing Phone-Free Time

The speaker's project was called "Bored and Brilliant: The Lost Art of Spacing Out". She came up with the idea because she was curious about what would happen if people never got bored. She was concerned that people's relationships with their phones had become codependent. The TED talk provided information on how spending too much time on phones can negatively impact behavior. It discussed a challenge the speaker did where participants tracked phone usage, then tried not using apps or checking their phone as frequently. This showed how technology can influence habits and behaviors.

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

- The speaker’s project or idea was called Bored and Brilliant: The lost art of Spacing out.

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

- The speaker came up with the idea because of her curiosity. She asks questions to
herself like “what will happen to us when we never get bored?”. One of the reasons
because many people are concerned that their relationship with their phone has
become codependent, a behavioral action that allows people to develop addiction, poor
mental health, or underachievement. That person who looked at her phone described it
as a powerful tool, extremely useful but dangerous if not handled properly. People
believe that if they do not pay close attention to their phones, they will lose an hour of
time.

3. Was her project informative? List down all the information you learned from her TED talk.

- It was a very informative TED talk, as a teenager who was always using phone and
always on social media, I can relate on some situations to the people who joined her
project. They also use phones for people, collaborating with apps that track how much
time we spend on our phones each day. Before Challenge Week, I spent an average of 2
hours per day and checked my email 60 times. Day 1: Put your phone in your pocket,
take it out of your hand, and see if you can break the habit of checking your phone
throughout the day. It was discovered that technology has an impact on behavior. On
the third day, the challenge was to delete the apps that you had on your phone, and
some of the people who accepted that challenge felt embarrassed and emotionally
experience at first, it feels lonely, but then they realized that not giving phone power to
decide that to you is not giving phone power to decide that to you.

4. How frequent do you use your phone? Can you see yourself doing the speaker's challenge?

- I was always using my phone, whenever I’m laying on my bed, going outside, sitting on a
couch, waiting on someone and much more scenarios. Yes, but not now I still need time
on how to get away on social media. It was extremely interesting; imagine you delete all
of your social media sites and begin to consider your next steps; perhaps I can do
something beneficial to myself, such as workouts, to become more productive in my life.

5. What are the possible implications of multi-tasking? Do we finish more, or do we finish less tasks
than focusing on one (1) task at a time?

- When I’m doing a work or task, sometimes I do multitask, doing multitasking has some
consequences, such as when doing your work or task, using multitasking is good
because the progression of works loads simultaneously, but if we look at it, the work or
task progresses slowly. I prefer to complete fewer tasks rather than focusing on one task
at a time because it allows you to become a more productive person because all of the
ideas in this task that you are doing have a variety of ways and ideas to make your work
or task successful.

6. According to the search engineer at Google, why is technology built to trigger social media users
an itchy feeling if they are not with their phones?

- According to the search engineer at Google that people are a little bit crazy because
they are addicted to using phones and gadgets. That was the technology's chances our
feeling when we are not in our phones, it feels embarrassed and emotionally experience
at first, and they feel lonely. People believe that if they do not pay close attention to
their phone, they will lose an hour of time.
