The Bored & Brilliant Challenge

The 2019 Hillsboro Reads selection is Bored & Brilliant by Manoush Zomorodi. Bored & Brilliant inspires readers to develop a more mindful relationship with technology, especially smartphones, and challenges us to find out what happens when we let ourselves be "bored" rather than engaging in constant digital distractions. For this month's episode, staff members Jenny and Edgar tackle some of the questions and challenges posed by Bored & Brilliant, and take a hard look at how they use mobile technology in their lives.
