I don't believe so. Next time you are at the mall with large, heavy bags, or at the airport with luggage, aren't you thankful you do not have to walk up possibly 3 or more flights of stairs? It is physically impossible for some people to climb stairs, such as the elderly, or people with heart problems who don't have the stamina. Escalators are simply a time saver for people who don't have problems.
If escalators are making us lazy, would you say that microwaves are making us lazy because they are a time-saver?

no, but cell phones are, and so are computers. remember when you had to walk to your friends house just to talk to them?
Oh, Ill tell you a secret. Any advance in technology really just makes us lazier. One day everyone will weigh six hundred pounds because they wont have to get up to do any task anymore.. that or we'll spend all day every day playing paintball.
but sadly,the world will probably end before then
