Technology has impacted today's society, but has it also impacted how lazy we are? Technology has improved so much it's taken over jobs or other labor humans used to do. Technology has transformed how we live completely. There are now AI, apps, and many other types of technology or things that involve technology that help or do things for you.
No matter how simple the task is, technology will probably now do it for you. One example is doing your homework. There are apps like Photomath that give you the answers to most of your mathematical questions. There is also different types of AI that can answer questions you ask it. For example, you can have it to write an essay for you about a specific topic. There are also apps where you don't have to leave your house to go do stuff. A common example would be shopping. You can now do that online and these apps are making malls less used. People used to go to malls and stores to buy what they needed but now you can download an app or go to a website and shop from there. Also, if you wanted to go and eat food, you could also just order from your couch and have it delivered to your home. Due to technology, you don't have to get up, thus making you lazy. Another thing people can do is work from home. There is no need to wake up and drive to work when you can work from home.
Technology and the way in which we have let it develop has let it affect us in multiple ways. We are now too lazy to go in stores to buy things like groceries or clothes, we're too lazy to do our homework, we're too lazy to do math problems on our own, and we're too lazy to get food from a restaurant. We are the cause for the increase in laziness these past years. This can continue to be our way of living, or we can fix our dependance on technology. Technology is both a blessing and a curse.

I do beleive technology has made people lazy even me in some aspects but I try not to be lazy. I feel like we are getting to a point where technology is getting more used in our daily lives but it could overtake society but it is uncertain.
I agree. I think that technology has definetly made us lazy as a society. But I also think that there are a lot of good things coming with the new technology that will help us. Technology has made people lazy because if you don't want to do something, you can just have someone else to do it for you. I think it is helpful and hurtfull.
Technology has made us lazy, but it also helping our society accomplish things.
Technology is definently overused like you said because lot of people use it for the smallest things ever.
Technology has made us lazy, although I do think there are many benefits to it! It can solve tasks quicker and make us more efficient. Technology has made everything very simple but if people abuse it I do think it can make us lazy. I can even admit myself I have caught myself scrolling on Tik Tok or any other social media app for too long. I could be using that time for something else. I also feel like technology makes you procrasinate doing some things such as school work very bad.
Technology has made me so lazy! I feel that TIkTok impacted people the most and made them more lazy, including me. But technology also can help with emergencies and contacting friends and family. However, I do think technology will take over! We already have electric cars, AI, and robots that can deliver food!
I feel like technology can be both good and bad. Like you said it makes us addicted, but it is also helpful.
In some ways I agree that technology has made us lazy. However, I think for the most part technology has made our daily lives more efficient and provides better access at the touch of a button. Technology, if used incorrectly, can cause laziness. Personally I use technology for online shopping, communcating with friends, and even doing schoolwork.
Technology has made me lazy in a lot of things like school because I don't have to handwrite papers or handwrite notes. I don't think that we will let technology overtake society. If it does it will be through government mandates that force it upon citizens, which won't happen.
I agree, I don't write any of my notes on paper becuase it is easier to write them on a google docs.
