Technology is Making us Lazy



In the article Technology is Making us Lazy by Erica Bradley, she believes that technology has made people incredibly lazy. Bradley wrote this mainly to share that a very popular newspaper; Rocky Mountain News, has gone out of business because of technology. She used the article to be a wake-up call to people that if technology can cause 200 people to be unemployed it has to be bad.

Bradley supported this with many examples of how technology has taken over the work that humans had to do. One example is the Internet. She states that instead of going to the library to research for a project people can just look it up on the computer and get results. Ironically, I used the computer to search and find this article and anyone else she was hoping to agree with her but have to do the same ,but her point was clear.

This was a good article because Erica Bradley gave many examples and reasons why she believes that technology does make people lazy. It also help me realize that people really don't go to the library to research or walk outside to get their paper. I appreciated having all this input on how technology is taking over our everyday lives.
