How Technology is making us lazy- Tyler Murata

            In today’s Society Technology has made our lives so much easier on all of us and helps us all live very luxurious lives. Most people will agree with the fact that because of technology our lives are a lot easier and are not so stressful, but now there is technology for everything and everyone and making it too comfortable for us. There are so many things we can do with technology now that we don’t even have to move a single inch in order to go about our lives. We are slowly beginning to lose sight of our old fashion ways of doing things by our selves and relying heavily on technology to do it for us. Technology should be there to help us as well as allow us to grow as humans rather than taking away all responsibilities and actions from us completely.

            The new smart phones that everyone has are a perfect example of how technology is making us lazy. They have endless amount of applications and the things they can do are limitless allowing us to be too comfortable and unproductive. Some of the applications can actually help us be productive but a majority of them are mainly for entertainment or pure luxury. It all depends on how a person uses their phone but since a lot of people like taking the easy route, smart phones are used to their advantage because they allow endless amounts of technological tools.

            One of the biggest tools technology enables to have is communicating with a person without actually communicating with them. There are so many ways of communicating with a person using technology that people become complacent communicating with people without having to go out ant meet up with anyone. Yes it may help enable people to meet up with each other to a certain extent but because texting, instant messaging, or emailing is so easy to do, most people would rather stay where they are at than and “talk” than personally meet up and talk face to face.

           Technology allows us to have a miniature universe of our own and we can use it as we please to. It is very helpful to us, but too much of anything can also be a bad thing and so the decision of whether we want to use technology to help us learn and grow or to make us lazy depends on us. Technology is meant to help us do things we can not, not to make us lazy and rely on it to do everything for us.
