Rapid media multitasking itself, with such a high novelty load that induces frequent reward feedback, may also influence the boredom curve. In other words, this may all be cyclical: boredom drives frequent switching to new tasks → rapidly induced rewards → increased rate of boredom in nonstimulating information sources → rapid flattening of resource intake curve → quicker switch times → and so on.
This book, for instance, went from engaging in the first section, to boring. Yet still I fight to engague with the topic despite violation to my ability to willfully suspend disbelief.
