Will technology make us even lazier?

[hcfwesker]

You ever notive these sci-fi movies, like futuristic movies, and some of the ideas they incorporate on how technology will be the basis of our life, and actions. Like, how machines do the shopping, walking the dog, other simple tasks, etc.

I know those are very far-fecthed ideas, but they are ideas. And once an idea is in motion, we as humans have to see it made possible.

Will technology and people really be like that? Will we become so dependent on it that we will eventually get lazy to do simple things, like wash our face and brush our hair, that we will have robots or some sort of technology to do so in the future? Is that where we're headed?

I don't think we'll ever get that bad, but you have to wonder if some of these futuristic interpetrations do make a point.

Your views?

i personaly like to stray away for this and another reason: one day technology will revolt.

I do see a lot of this eventually happening. I mean there are and always will be lazy and ignorant individuals that will take part in this. Regardless if it catches on or not I believe someone will invent this and a few people amongst us will use it. I mean even today we accommodate with machines. At the supermarket you see 'handicap' scooters for people to move around the store with. I see these being okay and a great idea for elderly or actually handicapped people. On the other hand though obese people take advantage of them and (probably end up breaking them) use them to drag their lazy arses around the store in search of their favorite cookies!... I know some obese individuals have medical issues but still the majority are just lazy and use what they can to do nothing ...
