摘要 當我們借手機消磨無聊時,反而會越感無聊,這是為何?基於此問,本文以「週末居家玩手機」為研究情境,依託質化研究方法,試從無聊的時間性視角出發,探討智能手機與技術性無聊的關聯。研究發現,製造重複、被動消費、「健忘症」、慣性依賴均是誘發技術性無聊的關鍵因素;其間,人們將與時間坦誠相見,真切體感循環、貧乏、抽離、單一的時間狀態。不過,無聊亦是人之自主性的自衛系統,當意義崩潰之際,技術性無聊會轉換成自反性無聊,督促主體重拾對手機的主導權。因此,直面無聊時,我們不該避之不及,而應以奏鳴的姿態與其共舞,以期尋回遺失的本真自我。
Abstract Why does using smartphones to alleviate boredom often intensify it? To address this paradox, this qualitative study examines the relationship between smartphones and technological boredom within the context of weekend home usage. Adopting a temporal perspective on boredom, the research identifies four key mechanisms inducing technological boredom: repetitive content production, passive consumption, digital amnesia, and habitual dependency. These mechanisms force individuals into time, manifesting as cyclical, impoverished, alienating, and monotonous temporal experiences. Crucially, boredom functions as a defense mechanism for human autonomy: when meaning collapses, technological boredom transforms into reflexive boredom, compelling users to reclaim agency over their devices. Thus, when confronting boredom, we should actively engage with it rather than avoid it to retrieve the alienated authentic self.
