Abstract

Maria Ebling discusses an NPR program called 'Bored and Brilliant,' which, based on a study that found that boredom can lead to creativity, has challenged listeners to spend more time daydreaming. What are we giving up by spending all of our spare time checking our smartphones? Are we losing the potential time to daydream and find creative, imaginative solutions to important problems? The related Web Extra provides a list of those who acted as reviewers for IEEE Pervasive Computing in 2014. We thank them for making volume 13 possible.
