Technology is making humans lazy day by day.

With technology becoming more revolutionized day by day, humans are also becoming lazy since machines have taken over man-made labour techniques. Due to this people are becoming more and more dependent on technology since everything can be done with their fingertips. Technological advancements has benefitted people and at the same time made them lazy too. Nowadays, cell phones can finish the sentences and words in just one go with a few taps on their keypad without the need for writing on a piece of paper. Also, the calculator could do our math that makes calculations easy and does not require any mental effort on the part of the individual. Internet is the biggest advancement that has taken place and also the easiest forms to access. With the dawn of Internet, everything is instantly available on Google that makes finding study material and information easy, which reduces the physical effort of the people to go and spend hours in the library taking down notes. It has made people very much lazy as all the work is done sitting in front of a laptop or a computer at homes without the need of any physical activity. People are engaging more into the virtual world and are forgetting reality.
Social networks such as Facebook, Twitter, Snapchat and Instagram have reduced the need for communication in reality as you can chat and share pictures with your friends all over the world and stay connected to them. This makes social interaction with friends difficult since they don’t feel confident while conversing as they are always engaged in the virtual world and also with the SMS word usage. Initially, parents and children used to spend 20 to 30 minutes doing dishes manually and now we have the automatic dishwasher, which lightens our work and at the same time makes us lazy too.
Not only that, even Restaurants have home delivery options where you don’t need to visit and can have the comfort of eating food at your own house. Also, there has also been a new trend of shopping online from your favorite stores and the items are delivered right at your doorstep. This kind of technology has really made it impossible for the people to move out of their house and forcing them to be dependent on these machines and devices that are convenient and accessible.

I feel that we are getting closer and closer to the days when we wont even be able to read maps anymore. In today’s society technology has become a life necessity since people always opt for an easy way out.
