6 Ways Technology Has Actually Made You Lazy by dammy13(m): 4:47am On Feb 18, 2017 |
You love technology because it has significantly simplified our lives. In fact, you eat, dream and sleep technology today unlike in the past when you have to make painstaking effort to get things done. Also, you can just sit on your sofa and you are interacting with the world. This is good. But, at the same time, it has made you lazy. KIKIOTOLU shares ways technology has made many of us lazy. 1. Shopping online There are a lot of online shops where you can buy whatever you want and the good will be delivered at your doorstep. So, you don’t see the reason why you should go to the market or offline store for shopping. However, what you don’t know is that you can bargain offline which you cannot do offline. 2. No more in-depth research Google is now a verb for searching anything online. It takes you seconds for you to get results of your search. But, before, you have to do in-depth research where you have to distribute questionnaires and go to the library and even buy books to make your findings expansive. But with search engines, you don’t need to do this. 3. You don’t need to run your errands There are now chatbots like Kudi that can help you run your errands. The managers of these chatbots will be the ones to help you buy recharge cards, go to the market, pay utility bills and make deliveries on your behalf. 4. You don’t spend time with friends Social media and instant messaging sites have ensured that you no longer visit our friends and family. You can just chat them up on WhatsApp or BBM or rather you put a call through to them. The societal bridges for physical interaction have collapsed. 5. Libraries have been abandoned Public libraries have been abandoned because nobody uses them. This is because the internet is a cesspool of information. Even now very few people buy hard-cover books due to the fact that you can get e-books online. 6. News at a click You don’t need to rely on traditional media like newspapers, radio, and television for news. The news is now all over the place on social media that even you don’t know what to believe due to the prevalence of fake news. So, you don’t need to make any effort to get news. http://www.kikiotolu.com/2017/02/6-ways-technology-has-actually-made-you.html Lalasticlala Mynd44 seun Dominique 10 Likes 2 Shares

What drugs are you on ?? Stupidity pills ?? The internet is the only best thing to happen to humanity Do you know how many people internet saved from dying of stress ?? Just imagine a mother of two little kids cleaning the house, cooking at the same time and preparing to take the kids to the market to buy things when she can just click a button and everything would be done Just ask our parents, they had it rough because they never had the internet Your argument is invalid 14 Likes 3 Shares

There are always two sides to a coin. Everything in this life has its advantages and disadvantages. However, when the advantages outweighs the disadvantages then we look on the brighter. Would you rather have the life u have in the 80's or stick with our modern world? the choice is yours... 2 Likes |

True to an extent, but On, who goes to a news paper stand for news these days? When you can save up those minutes for something better and avoid problems with other people who will also be struggling or waiting to read the same paper you have in your hand. My dear everything in this life has its own advantage and disadvantage. I don't see laziness in your posts though 1 Like |

I don't wish my children to learn things the way I learnt them. Why will I have to write a letter to an uncle in Kaduna telling him I want to visit him during holidays and wait for weeks to get his reply while i can just dial a number in few seconds and relay my message? Technology made us smarter and better time managers. Life was tough and fun then. 4 Likes |

Granted technology can and does make someone physically lazy But if you really know what you're doing technology can and does make you mentally superior Luckily for us we are now in the information age where mental superiority counts more So bring on more and more technology 1 Like |

GossipHeart: You can as well pass your opinion without using abusive word on the OP. I'm sure the "lazy" was not used in a negative context by the OP so take a chill pill 7 Likes |
