Have modern-day conveniences made it too easy for us to be lazy?

Question

I used to remember lots of phone numbers. Now they're all on my cell phone speed dial. Off the top of my head, I can only remember six numbers. :(

And two of the six is my home and cell numbers!

Answer 1

I have a tendency to remember words and numbers and addresses...

I'm wierd like that.

But yes, i do believe modern-day conveniences have made it too easy for us to be lazy.

Answer 2

duh.
but I always remember the phone numbers. try to dial them too. what if you forgot a number you needed in an emergency?

Answer 3

you may only remember a couple of numbers, but what else can you do? i bet that most people do a ton of things that they couldn't do before. i dont think it's lazy to have 3 conversations at once while doing homework, if you handle it right.

Answer 4

definately.

but i can remember about 27 phone numbers and 3 fax numbers.

=)

Answer 5

in many ways yes, I have the same problem with phone numbers and I shop online way too much now :)

Answer 6

just think the kids today will never know what it was like before video games or cell phones or computers. how about before cable T.V.

Answer 7

Yes. Things are just too convenient anymore.

Answer 8

Do you still have my number on your cell

Answer 9

yes but we are paying the price. Our asses are becoming the size of shopping carts and our only cultural references are TV shows. We deserve to go extinct.

Answer 10

yup. it definitely did. but most human dont like to admit it. im very impressed that some one would admit it. u rock girl! and as much as people don't like admitting to it, it's the truth. so people will just have to learn to accept it.
