Technology has made many people "enslaved" to it.
We check our e-mails, internet and msn at work and in the home at least a few hours a day.
Technology has made life more complicated, but our lives may not necessarily be happier because of science.
It is quite a difficult question to answer. I look at my remote control and feel that I am lazy to some extent because I am lazy to walk to the machine and operate it in-situ.
Is that idleness and laziness? Yes, to some extent.

I see what your saying but I will still have to go with False. We have more free time but most of us use it to do things we enjoy and most dont enjoy being idle for to long

False. Science isn't making us idle. It is making our work easier to perform.

False. Man's greed induces him to wrongly use Science to make himself idle.

Depends on what you mean by "idle".
It might mean that it eliminates the need for a lot of manuel labor and allows and encourages more sedative behavior. That might be considered being "idle" to some.
Very subjective question.

Lack of adherence to scientific rules is making a mockery of humans and their ability to think and communicate.

Spell check is a wonder, now if they had grammar check and linguistic intent check we'd be absolute! LOL or obsolete.

No.
Science, specifically advancing technology, allows people to accomplish more with less physical effort, but it cannot be blamed. People must be blamed for allowing themselves to become idle.

Technology that prevents us from thinking and physically, healthy activity makes us idle.
Science that is able to prevent diseases from going full circle, or pain medications for surgery, or meds to control people with chemical imbalance is a good thing.
