How many of us could go
a week without our cell phone? Do you even bother to memorize phone numbers any
more? Technology has made life so convenient for us. However, we have to face
facts: Technology has made us lazy and dependent.
What's the point of
getting up, taking a shower, getting dressed, and driving to the movies when
you can just sit on the couch and fire up Netflix? We've all been there before.
You're on the fence about whether or not you want to get out and do something,
but then something comes over you. You start looking around at your PS3 and
laptop, then realize you can have just as much fun staying in the house.
Is it even possible to
get lost anymore? I get the feeling that we're getting closer and closer to the
day when people won't even be able to read paper maps anymore. There are
already a lot of young adults that have no idea how to navigate (导航)
through their own cities without using a GPS. Being able to print out complete
turn by turn directions for where you need to go on MapQuest pretty much killed
the need for a map.
We have all Googled something that we were
completely embarrassed we didn't know the answer to. According to Google, "How
to tie a tie" gets over 500, 000 searches a month. Exactly, a quick search
on Google will bring up instructional YouTube videos, blog posts, and PDF's
that show you how to do anything. So much for being self sufficient.
Running errands (跑腿) used
to take up entire Saturday mornings. By the time you got home, you were tired
and just wanted to relax. Well thanks to online shopping and services like
Peapod, running your own errands is a thing of the past.
I'm definitely part of
the problem here because I love online shopping. But I can admit that it has
made me somewhat lazy.
