How could remaining in the eternal presence of a Being who is the fullest possible representation of Life in all its variety, beauty, and wonder, ever be (or become) boring? (Think of the happiest, or most joyful, or most satisfied that you have ever felt in your earthly life, and then imagine what it would be like to feel that way continually forever. Under such circumstances, I can't conceive of actually wanting to have pain, disappointment, or sorrow thrown into the mix just for the sake of "variety", or so we would not "get bored".) (I think that I would be able to take up the time just getting the answers to questions from the One who is the source of all knowledge.) 

Boredom implies dissatisfaction with one's current circumstances, and was the ploy (along with pride) that Satan used to cause humanity's fall into sin, despite humans having been placed in an earthly paradise created for them by God; given fellowship with God Himself; and with immortality to enjoy it. But, in heaven, that source of temptation, as well as our fallen human natures, will have been removed for eternity, for we shall be like Jesus (1 John 3:2), and shall know God as He has known us (1 Corinthians 13:12). And I believe that God will be able to use us in His service and praise in ways that we cannot even imagine in this life, and that will make dissatisfaction with our eternal state impossible.

Would be very boring for the unbelievers because the system would be completely strange. But to the redeemed of the Lord who are already practicing heaven NOW, it would be the most lively & interesting experience ever...
Can't wait to be in his presence forEVER.
