Technology is so much advanced that it enables to get everything at our door steps. There are many things that has made our life's simpler.

For instance, It's a beautiful sunny day outside, but you choose to sit and watch t.v or computer. Another example could be that of an escalator. We just need to stand on the escalators and then let them do their work.

Do you think technology has made us lazier?

technology is really killing the naturality of human life where people are forgetting to even do their basic exercises to keep themselves healthy ......
 
Yes technology has made us lazier. We have become addicted to these technologies. Earlier, when there were no remote controls, people used to get up and change the channel and now we have remote controls. I, myself find changing channels through remote controls.

Before technology rules us, its better to change our habits
 
Technology is a boon for modern day life which has made our lives much more convenient and easy. Today, the life has become very fast and hectic as compared to earlier days but thanks to the new inventions in the field of technology, we can manage our busy lives very well.
 
Yes, technology has made people lazy, as everything are at the corner of achievement, so no one strives for it. Everyone has became dependent on technology. The things have become easier.
 
No I dont agree to the point that technology is making us lazy or killing natural instincts in humans............

With technological progress we have progressed till now , we can today connect to our relatives aboard thats because of technology.......

We can travel faster to any destination that we want its because of the technological progress.......

Most important have so many medical machines that prove to be boon for us.........

So in short technology has helped us to make our life simple and be better members of society......................

Technology has made us become lazy. In the 21st century, technology has evolved to accommodate a more convenient lifestyle and meet every need that could possibly need fulfilling. With the right tech in your home, you might not ever need to leave your bed!

Social media and mobile devices may lead to psychological and physical issues, such as eyestrain and difficulty focusing on important tasks. They may also contribute to more serious health conditions, such as depression. The overuse of technology may have a more significant impact on developing children and teenagers.

Depression. Over-usage of technology damages the brain systems connecting emotional processing, attention and decision-making. A new study links anxiety, severe depression, suicide attempts and suicide with the rise in use of smartphones, tablets and other devices.

Delivery services on steroids – we used to spoil ourselves with an occasional delivered meal, a pizza, or Chinese food, whatever was nearest to us and delivered. Delivery services and online shopping have evolved so rapidly that realistically, we don’t have to leave our homes to do “chores” anymore. We can get groceries, clothes, dinner, laundry, makeup [insert anything else you can think of here] delivered directly to our front door.

Ride-sharing – Once in the not-too-distant past, we couldn’t use an app and expect a ride to come within moments of our inquiry. Before Cabify, Lyft and Uber, if we needed a ride, and couldn’t hail a cab we would walk. Whether it was walking to a busier corner for a taxi, finding the nearest public transport hub, or walking to the actual destination, we were not groomed to stay put and have a ride come to us.

An influx of entertainment – We’ve all heard the jokes about Netflix like watching so long in a “binge session” that Netflix embarrassingly asks if we’re still watching. At our fingertips, we have Netflix, Hulu, HBOgo, Apple TV, iTunes store –thousands of hours of entertainment so easily accessible that we don’t need to leave our sofa to find enjoyment. No more running to Blockbuster, or Redbox, or even the movie theater.

Social media – It seems that texting or social media lurking on a mobile phone have become the most common form of communication for generations of digital natives. Picking up the phone to call someone seems more of an effort than many like to commit to – even voice memos have replaced a two-way conversation.

Asking for directions – Thanks to GPS, Google Maps, Waze, and the boatload of other navigation technologies we no longer ask anyone for directions. There is no more pulling off at a random gas stop on a road trip to see where the heck you’re at. No more reading paper maps – we have a small voice inside our phone that directs us everywhere we need to be.

the value of technology is depend on the purpose of people who use it.
you can be lazy by using technology but also you can be diligent by using technology.
 
everything has pros and cons , it depends one onself how to take advantage of it ,whether in positive direction or negative, So i think it is at individual discretion how to use it but at the same time, proper training and awareness shud be there to act as guding principles.

I am on the same page. From one side it made us lazier, on the other hand it saved so many lives. We have access to so much information, we can study online whatever we want. With all the modern phone tracker apps we can find our children if they are lost, we can talk to our family which lives on the other continent! So many old friends found each other through social networks.... I can continue for hours. The biggest con on my opinion - people waste so much time on some unimportant things instead of spending time with their loved once.
