That would be my worst nightmare, I'm already bored to death.

I would conclude no, immortality would not be boring. You'd have a rather large family. :hmm:

In addition, unless the human brain was upgraded you might start forgetting things that happened 100+ years earlier. Who knows how much information we can store? But while immortal you'd reach that limit and start to lose previous experiences.

Which case I might argue there's always something new around the next corner. Even if you were there 100 times before.

It's OK. Wednesday mornings still suck and Sunday afternoon is still boring but overall it's pretty good.
