These days you do not even have to leave the house to make money.
As you can earn money online. People can order food online, even groceries.
Movies? you can now stream them online. You can play video games online.
You hardly have to move or leave the house anymore.

But do you think the internet has maybe made us a lot more lazy?
I think so .. and it will probably only be getting worse with time.

It depends on your perspective. For me, the internet is making us productive even just home. To be more with our families. And if we are just starting our family we can work in the comfort of our home and at the same time taking care of our kids while in their early stage.

You make a good point. We don't have to wake up early to go to a job. And we can still make some good money.
You make a good point about having more family time!

It depends upon your activity. Friends you must spend a specific time in online work. No too much. Because too much time spending online is also not good for your health. You must have to know about problems which may be created due to over use of the computer and internet. However your online work should be beneficial for you!

Thanks for reading.

While I would not totally deny that the Internet has made us lazy, but I think it has made us more inactive and unhealthy.
We walk less, keep on sitting and eating more, and that is causing many health issues.

I agree with advent of internet, we have more adapted to sedentary lifestyle!! And ofcourse, that led the sluggard in us to be pro-active!

The point here is not idleness or timidity. The coming of Internet facilitates everything and makes life easy. But it does not in any sense make anyone as lazy. It is only time saver, effort saving, and many things. Generally it is not.

Internet and modern technology does not by itself damages anyone, but it is our use of these things that cause problems.

... Internet and modern technology does not by itself damages anyone, but it is our use of these things that cause problems.

I do agree with you. Just like money which is our moving spirit or energy in doing business and in sustaining our lives. Money in general is not evil not damaging so to speak in the life of every person. It is how it is acquired that makes it good or bad. I may quote the Bible that it is the love of money which is the root of all evil. Thus with modern technology, it is too subjective on how everyone uses it. It is too detrimental if it is being abused, but it is too beneficial if it is used properly.

We should part time of day use for walk or some training. Our health is more important than money.

I agree about how spending to much time online is bad. We need to get out and get fresh air and get actitve. It's why I am going to drink coffee. Get ready and go for a walk in a bit. I do spend a lot of time working and making money online, but I need to get out more.

I agree ! and I now work out and walk everyday. It's important and fun to work out daily.

If you can control yourselves to not go over with your online activities, why is this regarded as a sin? Now, I spend most of my day online, but my work is based online, hence why I have so much time to make a little side money.

We all here are hustlers. That's a property everyone should have. Most of us here aren't rich. Everyone could use a little cash. I think it speaks to the testament then rather then us mindlessly playing video games, or watching YouTube, we are hard at work, even if it may be for a few cents. That's called grit.

Now it's important not to solely focus on money. Other aspects of your life including happiness should be on your mind whenever using your time.

But some of us have tough lives. People may need every penny. We don't know what's going on behind the screen. I could be Barack Obama or a homeless man for all you know. But you don't have any proof other then what I say (and forensic evidence obviously).

It's important to keep a balance of your offline and online life and have self control.

Yes, the Internet has made us a bit lazy. It also saves a lot of time, money and it's easier to communicate among others. The majority of us aren't addicted and we work hard. So if that's the case for us, the Internet is a net benefit for us. It's only a lazy tool if you don't know how to use it properly.

[MysticMoons]

Yes you make some good points. In many ways the net has made us a lot more productive.
But also lazy at the same time. I guess since before we had to get up to do every little thing it was different.
Even when the phone came out it already started to make people a bit more lazy.

[katkat]

The truth is we must know how to balance things on our own and not blame internet for being lazy. On my part I can still do things home even when I am online. I have my stationary bike and it helps me to be healthy. If ever I am lazy to do it then it's not the internet that is to be blame but my attitude. So let's not change our ways for the internet. Let us make it to our advantage and not destroy us. At the end it still depends on us.

[ptrikha21]

Yes you make some good points. In many ways the net has made u..................lazy.

Also, the coming of Internet on phones and Apps such as WhatsApp, Line etc has increased the differences between people rather than bridging them.

[Netherrealmer]

Not really, I have a farm that I work on before going to my teaching shift. I still do physical stuff.

[MysticMoons]

That is great my friend. doing Physical stuff is good for health!

[darkthorn]

Working online does not makes us lazy, watching tv does . If you are able to make some extra money online it will allow you to do more things in life, like for some people it can allow them to pay for the gym, so it really depends on the person and their goals.

Well now you make some good points. I think it we make fast money online, it does leave more free time to work out, or be in nature. So you do make quite a good point indeed.

[arunima]

They are not making us lazy. In fact how much and how we use them makes us lazy. One has to bring a balance. I have limited time for my online earning and access to Internet. Rest of the time I spend in doing my offline job, chores, spending time with family and my physical exercise. Yes it is bad if we get addicted to it and ignore everything else.
