How many of us have these things in our homes? Computers, laptops, cellular phones, iPods, digital cameras, PSPs, vacuum cleaners, air conditioners, microwave ovens and the like? These and a lot more have made people live a very comfortable life nowadays. School papers and research works can be done overnight, cleaning is so fast and easy, communicating with others is a lot better, cooking is hassle free and more conveniences that make us too lazy to do hard work and labor.

When our teacher asked us to do two scientific papers handwritten, I was thinking how on earth can I do that? I was always complaining to her asking for some consideration because I think it was not possible but I had no choice, and fortunately, I was still able to make the lab scientific papers. Then I realized how technology was making me a lot lazier than before. Way back then, I used to do manual laundry but now, I use the washing machine. Before, I have to cut, slice and season whenever I cook food, now, I can serve dinner in an instant without the cutting and slicing. Even calling someone required me to look for a phone booth and make sure that the person I need to contact is at standby waiting for my call, now, I just have to dial the number and I am directly connected. Boredom is not a problem anymore since there are a lot of electronic games that will surely entertain me not unlike before that boredom can only be solved through sleep.

With the technology the world today have, people are getting lazier than ever, if not, more busy since efficiency has gone up, people now are expected to finish more paper works with the help of the computers. They have to finish additional jobs now since machines have done a part of what people are supposed to do. This is true especially if you are in a working environment. Maybe I was partly wrong that technology makes people more lazy. Technology rather change peoples’ ways of life, it can make you lazy, or it can make you very much stressed.
