Am I Lazy?

Is the reason that there has been an boost in obesity thanks to the fact that adults in today’s society are lazy? Are we all just a bunch of lethargic couch potatoes that don’t do anything but sit around and eat all of the time? I say no. Rather we are a item of our revolutionary, technological society. I am not saying we can blame technology, rather I'm saying that as with our youth, the adults are also a reflection of the society that surrounds them. It is not an excuse, but it is a thought I pondered depending on my typical day.

    I get up within the morning, not to the sound of an aggravating buzz, beep, or the blaring of the radio. These alarms would get my blood racing ideal from the start off, but I would hit snooze to cease the insanity. Then it would occur again, and once again, the snooze bar. Right after several instances of this I am would now be late for function, rush towards the shower if I even had time, rush for the vehicle, and speed off to work. Not in today’s globe. Instead, I wake for the soothing sound in the ocean on my Homedics radio and slowly wake peacefully. No blood pumping, no elevated heart rate. I just possess a nice and slow, effortless awakening. Next I head for the shower where I put turn on my shower CD player and listen to one thing that I enjoy even though I take my time letting the water nearly run cold. 

    Through my toweling off and finding dressed period with the morning, I can hear my coffee becoming created on the coffee maker that is definitely set to make me a cup every morning with me not getting to complete a thing. Even though I sit and drink my coffee pondering the day ahead of me, I notice that it's just about gone, so I gently push a button on my key ring that begins my car and gets it good and warm for me ahead of I even get to it. I can then take my leisurely stroll to my auto, get in, and possess a good peaceful drive to perform (barring any unforeseen road rage).  Nothing like prior to when I had to run to my automobile mainly because I was late the majority of the time thanks to the annoyance of my alarm or run because it was cold and then get in and shake and shiver for 10 minutes till it warmed up. 

    When at function I uncover myself taking out my PDA and seeing what exactly is on my agenda for the day. Nope, no much more flipping through pages of my pocket calendar or scheduler. My work day is easy and uneventful, but as an alternative to getting to run back and forth by means of the workplace to get messages to absolutely everyone, I can now merely send an interoffice e mail with the push of a button. When it is time to leave, I again begin my vehicle from my workplace and drive home. 

    Arriving at dwelling, I put inside a microwave dinner that doesn’t have to be chopped up, cut up, stirred, blended, kneaded, poked, or even prodded. Push a few buttons and five minutes later I'm sitting in front from the Television watching the shows I recorded on my cable’s digital recorder and consuming my 5 minute, nuked meal. Would I've performed this previously? The answer is no, mainly because I'd have had to physically make one thing to eat, and there wouldn’t be something on Television worth watching, so I'd eat and go do a thing like yard perform, clean the house, play using the children, whatever, just some thing else to occupy the time. Oops, even though I was consuming, I got some crumbs on the floor and then dropped some much more on the way back to the kitchen. Oh well, I will just push the button on my robot vacuum cleaner and let it clean the entire floor as it is preprogrammed to do. 

    Lastly, my day is coming to an end and instead of carrying out something seriously constructive ahead of I go to bed, I can’t resist the chance to surf the internet for a bit although, perhaps chat to some pals or relatives, and check my email. Besides, I've to plug in my PDA towards the pc anyway. Now my lazy or technologically dysfunctional day is complete.

    This complete story brings me back to my question that began the complete factor. Am I lazy or am I just a item of my atmosphere. It is this author’s opinion that I'm both. Years ago, even the easy issues like making the dinner will be physical exercise, but now it can be also simple because it truly is done for you inside a box. Almost everything at this time is simple and most adults are on the heavy side, simply because issues are less complicated and do not take as considerably energy. That doesn’t mean we in society are lazy, it signifies we don’t have to exert ourselves as significantly to achieve the every day routines that happen to be necessary to complete the day. Even so, I could stop by the health club on my way home, or go for a walk right after dinner, so I'm also lazy also. The online world just pulls me in night soon after night and I cannot appear to produce myself do something else after dinner. Shame on you technology for holding that gun to my head!
