Cause and Effect
Laziness caused by Technology

More and more in this time, all I can see is people being lazy. Children do not want to play outside. Instead of playing outside children sit inside all day playing on their videogame systems, tablets, computers, and phones. Adults are just as bad sitting around glued to whatever tech toy they have. Technology is making people lazy.

People hardly have to leave their homes to do anything anymore. Technology has made it so easy for people to get virtually anything and everything they could possibly want or need at the touch of a few buttons. No longer do people have to walk around a store and haul their own things in and out of their cars. All people have to do is go online and those things will be delivered right to their front door.

When people do leave their homes to go to work, a lot of them are going to jobs where they sit behind computers all day. Even students staring in elementary school do a lot of school work, tests, and school projects behind a computer or tablet now. Many college students are picking careers to do with technology and can even get their education all online.

Don’t get me wrong, technology is not all bad. Technology has helped our culture in the fields of medicine and science greatly, but our society is letting technology take over. People are not being active enough anymore. Laziness is spreading like a disease. Being so lazy and depending so much on technology is causing health issues of its own.

Technology is ok in moderation. People need to stop letting technology take over their lives. Sitting at home in their pajamas ordering what they want and need instead of getting out and being active is just plain lazy. With everything so readily available with a few clicks of a button technology is winning. Technology is definitely making people

    We are using machines for nearly every second in our day, from the start to finish. I live in a world that technology is a part of every aspect of lives hence I don't feel that technology could be harmful to us. However, Brooke Gladstone and Josh Neufeld bough up an interesting point as to why other people might not be so ecstatic about technology: “Anything that is in the world when you're born is normal and ordinary and is just a natural part of the way the world works. Anything that's invented between when 15 and 35 is new and exciting and revolutionary. Anything invented after you're 35 is against the natural order of things” (338) Gladstone and Neufeld.…

    Over the past few years technology has changed and had significant impact on the way we live. Almost everyone has a smart phone, regardless of age or social status. We text and email instead of talk, because it faster and convenient. We can rent movies with a click of the button and stream it to our device or home. Everything is based on internet and although prices aren’t cheap, everyone can afford something that suits their budget. I have also noticed that our textbook uses bar scan, assuming that everyone has a smart phone to retrieve it. Tablets, which are like mini computers, absolutely took over the market. Even small children know how to operate them. They are easy to use, convenient and have all the things needed in one place. You are able to connect to people from all over the world in seconds. Not only you can hear them, but you can also see them. Things that seemed to be impossible a few years back now are only one click of a button away. The cars are equipped in road maps and phone systems, so it makes our driving more safe and helpful. We probably think it can’t get any better, but we are almost guaranteed to be introduced to a new phenomenon at least once every few months.…

    Technology has shaped and defined human activity and it has made life easier but more dangerous. As Langdon Winner explains in his piece, Technological Somnambulism, technology is a neutral tool. It can be used in a positive or a negative way. As well, Modern technology can be dangerous in many different ways. As more technology becomes available to the public, more people rely on it. This could be a problem; for example when many people want to figure something out, they will probably just type the question into Google. Technology allows us to think less about certain things, which may be easier but it “dumbs us down”. This could be considered dangerous because we may rely on technology too much and we could become lazy with our everyday rituals. With that said, technology has also helped us improve medicine and science to help cure certain diseases. Without these improvements we wouldn’t be as strong as a community. There seems to always be positive and negative things that come with technology.…

    Technology has been humans help since the beginning of time. We rely on technology to do the hardest and the simplest things for us. In the film “Idiocracy” the people in that city was so consumed by technology they allowed their city to become a disgusting waste land full of trash. They have become fat, lazy people that just sits on the couch and watch violent television shows all day long. But the question is “Is technology good or bad for the American people?” I would not say that technology is either good or bad for the people because it does prove good advances in the medical world. But they do have their downs as well.…

    Sherlock Holmes was a fictional detective created by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. Sherlock Holmes was a London detective who was famous for his master disguises and his intellectual ability to solve difficult crime cases. Sir Arthur Conan Doyle gave Sherlock Holmes many different ways to solve crimes such as fingerprinting, ballistics and handwriting analysis in order to determine the identity of the suspect. In the early 1900’s, solving a crime was mainly based off of superstition and usually an educated guess. The different methods that Sherlock Holmes used were of course fictional and a fantasy back then. The different types of fantasy methods influenced what we call today Forensic Science. Forensic Science is where the science and law community is used in order to answer questions to criminal as well as civil cases.…

    Technology has grown so much over the years and you can do so much with it now. You can read books, shop, and play games without having to be in contact with others. This limitation of human contact has had a negative effect on people's lives. The reason why it has negative effects on people's lives is because some people never get that fresh air anymore and some people do not know how to act around others. Since technology has grown, several people are less likely to leave their houses. Those people who get so caught up in the Internet world never want to leave their homes and go out into the real world. In our generation, children would rather play video games than go outside and ride bikes. It is not all children that do this but it is most of the children and…

    Technology is a big part to blame for that situation. “The washing is done automatically, meals can be cooked in the microwave at the press of a button, mobile phones allow us to send instant messages, the internet lets us see family and friends in other countries, and while this all takes place the obesity crisis escalates” (Waldron, 2010. Para. 2). There is no way that this is a coincidence. Since you do not have to leave the house anymore to do anything, people don’t. just getting out and walking to the mailbox to send out a letter is some exercise. “You can go shopping by seat of your comfy computer chair” (Logan, 2010. P.1). Even grocery shopping has become an online task. In theory this should free more time up for people so they could go for a run a run or hit the gym. But like I said, in theory. By using these systems people have become dependant and lazier. They don’t want to leave the house for anything. They sit around and find new ways to get out of everyday tasks that require you to go…

    Technology is a wonderful thing. It has enabled us to do things that in the past were unimaginable to do. Technology these days has evolved a lot and it has changed our life for the better and for the worst. When I say for the better I mean that it has made us able to contact our beloved ones that are far away from home, made us able to use this technology to save our life when we are in danger, etc. But there are some bad things that this technology is doing to us. Since the Smartphones came out almost everybody has bought one of them, and most of them are using these smartphones every day and every hour. Nowadays this technology is ruining family gatherings because everyone is so focused on their phone that nobody even shares a story beside…

    When we first received this assignment, numerous ideas flew through my head. Since I have lived in Saint Louis for my entire life, it is extremely simple for me to see the problems that exist in our society. Although I can see these problems particularly easy, it may not be so clear for men to see these troubles. Nature versus nurture, religion, and race are just a few of the problems that exist today for an American female. Those are just a few of the thousands of causes and effects that one might see in American cultures. Since there are so many cultures living within one, it makes it extraordinarily hard to fit the image of the perfect American girl. Even if these ideas exist, the ones I can relate to the most are artificiality, stereotypes, and peer pressure.…
