Researchers at Barcelona's Telefonica Research (http://www.engadget.com/2012/07/05/telefonica-carrier-billing/) lab have developed a smartphone-based algorithm (http://www.technologyreview.com/news/540906/your-smartphone-can-tell-if-youre-bored/) that determines a user's level of boredom based on how much they're using the device. The algorithm also takes a number of factors such as time of day and how long it's been since receiving a call or text into account as well. With it, the researchers were able to accurately gauge a user's level of boredom 83 percent of the time.
