There are a lot of boring things, but then again something is only boring if you allow it to be. Boy, you must be one negative person....LIFE is never boring or haven't you noticed that yet? (just curious). 
There is plenty in life we can focus on, so things do not become boring, as you say and that's one of the reasons for the decline in society, as a whole.
People are simply too negative about their own existence, which is perpetuated forth in their actions, for which, breaks or harms others.
It is an unforeseen consequence because people refuse to be aware of their actions and the consequences that will proceed from onward. 
It's a damn shame.
