- Cars. I think cars have made a postitve infulince on the human race. We can get where we need to go faster, and with less effort than on horseback. But it always has its downsides, cost and the exhaust from the car.
- Video games. I personaly am not a huge fan of video games. But the ability to create movies and stuff like that has more to do with informing rather than entertaining. Because with out the ability to produce videos, we would not have documentaries....with can sometimes be quite interesting. Or new broadcats so we can get information quicker than having to go down to the grocery store and by a paper.
There is absolutly nothing wrong with going outside and playing. If its a rainyday, or excesivly hot, then i can see staying in side and playing. I think videogames have alot to do with obese children these days, instead of going outside and playing, burning energy....and calories, children are staying inside, eating and playing videogames, the only thing they are exercising is their thumbs.
- Being in a hurry. Sometimes its good to be in a hurry, its the opposite of lazyness, which isnt good...not many people like lazy workers. But being in a rush can mean spending less time on a project and not making it run the best it can, taking shortcuts has its ups and downs.
- We are lazyier and more demanding. This may be true to a point, but look at all the great things man has accomplished. I dont think putting a man on the moon was exactly an act of lazyness.
Everyone wants things done for them. Just because we have more technology doesnt mean our uman nature has changed. I'm sure people in the 1700s wanted to just sit and relax and let a machine do their chores for them. But they couldn't so they didn't.
