Technologically Efficient

I was thinking yesterday about just how technologically efficient we as a society have become. Don't believe me? Think about this:
1. Remember when it took several minutes for the cashier to use the manual credit card machine where they had to make the imprint of your card on the triple copy receipt paper? (Oh I do... first job at Harco). Now, there are actually some credit cards that come with a tag that goes on your key ring. You just scan the barcode and head out the door with your purchase.
2. While perusing Amazon for a new work-out DVD I saw tons that promised a complete work-out in 10 minutes. I am still holding out for one that promises weight loss while sleeping.
3. How many of you do the majority of your Christmas/clothes/shoe shopping from the comfort of your couch without ever darkening the door of your local mall?
4. When is the last time you actually used a dictionary or "wondered" about something? Now we have instant access to dictionary.com and google.
5. Facebook now offers us a more discreet way to stalk people.
6. Remember when we actually took time to write a letter? Now we email. Remember when we actually picked up the phone to call someone and have a real conversation? Now we text.
7. There are "apps" for the iPhone that will do everything but brush your teeth for you.
So basically, we as a society have become accustomed to being technologically efficient, or in other words... lazy.
