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.
