With all this new technology coming out, I can’t help but ask myself…is technology creating a generation of lazy people?
We can now order or pre-order anything we want over the Internet, whether it be food, or the latest computer game, but this is almost in a way quite worrying. Will this mean that we all stay at home apart from going to school, or to work or university? I don’t think we will forget about going for a jog in the park or something like that, but with technology becoming more and more advanced, soon treadmills and other exercise machines we be in everyone's home, and we’ll be able to do everything from home. Except for work and school. But then if all schools are going online, couldn’t homework, and class work be emailed from pupil to teacher, and visa versa? And as our world becomes more technological, there will be more computing businesses, and more web site designers, who work from home. And with jobs that don’t include computers at all, the next generation of kids, when they start their jobs, they will be able to fax and email their work to their bosses, and the bosses can send new assignments to their employees.
So, in the future, will we all be giant fat blobs that sit by our computers all day, doing work for school, or our jobs? Or will we still be carrying on our normal lives with no change from today? Is technology advancing so much, that it’s creating a generation of lazy people?
Or will it be the next generation of people that suffer?

They will learn on their own. They will live in the kitchen and nature will teach the child the use for all utensils.
(Typically, I can never see you being a father, or doing that thing you have to do to become one, either.)
I can always trust my brain to cheer me up...

I know but who likes, going to school, half dead, on a -1 degrees c your shoes broken, hairs a mess and you can't be bothered to do anything?
Next generation, I think.
"Dad, can you take me to the hospital."
"Hang on, one more game..."
"Dad! The blood is pouring out quite fast!"
"Can't you drive yet? How old are you?"
"I'm seven Dad."
"Go ask your mother then."
"She left you three months ago Dad."
"Oh bloody hell."
