Simple questions like "What is the capital of India?" or whatever...seems like it is sooooo easy to look at a map than to spend few minutes and waste 5pts for it!

It may be the other way around. Maybe it's increasing the number of people who do research, or at least, look things up. Consider a hypothetical: Person asks a question. 20 people answer. Of them, 5 knew absolutely nothing about the question, but wanted to sound smart, so they immediately googled it, or looked it up on wikipedia.

Actually no I do not think that Answers! make people lazy.
I browse through questions all the time. I see interesting ones and I sometimes look up the answer because I do not know. Plus there are a lot of opinion questions out there not yes or no questions or what is the capital of India.
Plus its fun for all (or all for fun) and educational. Its great, addictive and even kids can learn something.

sturdy factor. many people place self assurance in cyber web web sites, chat rooms, Yahoo! solutions, etc... to confirm solutions. each and every so often those are not consistently stable or precise. as an occasion, I researched Cyclone Tracy (via utilising cyber web and books) and have been given 4 diverse solutions to what proportion people died that day and the way long the attention lasted. the internet had a much broader variety of lives/cases. those could've been anecdotal or purely made up. additionally, if i stumble on a question that sparks my intrest, I open a e book (or stable cyber web internet site) and learn the question. maximum people take the solutions from Yahoo! solutions as gospel, that they are consistently appropriate. this could lead on people right into a faux experience of protection and over-place self assurance in chat-room (or in addition based) solutions. call me superb, yet i could desire books.

No, they were lazy before. It has been centuries since the only way to find out something was to travel there instead of asking or reading a book.

No. It increases our knowledge. As we are forced to refer the various books, web sites, and more over, for people like me, to keep our knowledge base expanded and sharpen and to know what is happening in other fields of study.
Yes, I do accept that some questions were very silly, to give answers. But I feel that they are pointed to get 10 more points to some other person of their choice. I may wrong also.

i think there are two sides.many people are lazy but others try to learn.in my opinion its easier to search the web for answers than posting for a question and waiting for someone to solve it.as far as it concerns kids they should be not asking but eventually they will be forced to learn them one way or another.that is of course if they want to do something with their lives

people should be smart enough to ask only questions that answer REAL people's answers here! like if you have a problem about something and you're undecided. and you need answers from people who suffer the same problems as yours. also, questions about travel such as experiences on that place, etc

lazy.. to some extent yes but the term lazy is inappropriate. semi-resourceful fits better. you get to hear about your interest in many perspectives. after perception gathering, you will come up with a sensible decision.
