A lot of people require entertainment. Most people don't know what to do with themselves if they don't have constant stimulation. Many people can not spend any time without a TV playing or music on (sometimes both). Nothing is wrong with TV or music, but something is wrong with not being comfortable in a quite space. The problem with requiring outside stimulation for a sense of well-being is that you will require greater and greater stimulation over time. You find that you get bored easier and things that used to be fun are now boring.
I have seen many people who have never learned the skill of inter-peace. Meditation is even practiced with groups and with music. Try a silent retreat sometime if you are bored. Even for just the evening, turn everything off and just sit and think. It may take practice (no surprise here) but the skill of self-calming is great! Once you can get silent (mind and body) and be comfortable there, you can focus on a moment and see what is around you! Now you can be present for each moment. Boredom is gone!

People are into this because they have no imagination in how to entertain themselves. Too bad. A lot of opportunities are being missed out there.
