Hi Ladies n’ Gents,
Do you feel that technology is making us lazy? I personally do, we don’t open cans by ourselves n e more with the can opener, we have the automatic can opener, there’s a pancake flipper now, so no need to get a spatula n’ flip your own dang pannie-cakes! lol I am not saying that it is a bad
thing at all, in many cases it helps us do things faster n’ more efficiently. But does that have a counter-reaction by making us lazy n’ dependent upon technology?
However, I feel like we wont be brushing our own teeth in a little while, there will be robots holding our dang toothbrushes for us! LOL But n e who, what do you guys think?
Speak On IT!!!

I was just asked this question in a recent interview.

Today, if you don’t know something, there’s GOOGLE! 🙂 It is absolutely AMAZING, though, how technology allows us to carry such a vast amount of resources in our pockets, and… Read more »
I totally agree astride! Yes it is very convenient n’ easy. A lot of times it is even money saving, whenever I need a number I look it up on line instead of calling information. I guess its a time n’ money saver as well!
i really think in a case like this it depends on the person.for me i thank god i’m on such a budget that i’m not allowed to go that far outside the box and start getting things that would do the work for me.i guess i’m old fashion.my cell is simple,my brain is my calender,my can opener is the twist by hand kind,my car doesn’t do when i speak.i think technology is a beautiful thing,it allows us as humans to not only sit back,marvel at how our brains work,how our brains give us these creations but makes living life a… Read more »
Wow Eileen, that is very true. Have you ever seen someone loose there blackberry with there whole schedule inside it? LOL I have n’ boy is it a sight to see! I agree totally! We are co-dependent…gadgets makes us loose touch sometimes, with the things we are able to do. However, on the contrary, in most cases we save time n’ money using technology! Either way, I try to balance the two
