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. Here are ways technology has made many of us lazy.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
