Is technology making us lazy and introverted?

Is technology making us lazy and introverted?

YES! Technology is being used for terrible things. You ride down the street now a days and there are no kids playing outside. They are all inside playing video games. People do everything from date (which is ridiculous) to grocery shopping online! It is positively a contributing factor to the obesity rate. People before relied in eachother for mental and physical stimulation. Now people rely on technology. It has made living for an older fashioned guy like me difficult and I'm only 25. I enjoy little things like my smart phone etc… But I'd trade it away in a second to go back in time. I think the negatives far outweigh the positives that technology has brought us. So be it!

When one forgets the fact touch and being in the presence of a person means everything, yes.~*

Yes Yes Yes

Nope

Yes and I admit that I'm one of them

I've always been lazy and introverted so technology really has nothing to do with it in my case

Very lazy. Introversion is an option.

Yeap!

Its also making us fat

Well, Yes/.

Lazy, yes. Introverted, I think not.

Maybe

Yes it is. But then there are some who've become more active with technology. For example job search is more aggressive when applying online. Applying old fashioned way by mailing applications, will be a crawl

If introversion is up, crime would also be up, and births would be down.

I don't think it's true.

Introversion would have an immediate, significant impact on the population.

  • Why do so many people go crazy for new gadgets and technology? Queue up for days just to be the first to get a new iPhone… Upgrading things when the old one works just fine… Why do people want the newest "in" thing so much? What's wrong with buying a phone and keeping it for 5 years until it breaks down and THEN replacing it?
  • Who knows anything about music technology/music making computer software? So I basically made a few different iPhone recordings; Voice, two guitar riffs, piano. And I would love to put them all together, I want to make music! Anyone have any idea of safe, preferably free (super broke) music technology software I can download? To mix, add, mess around with different sounds and tracks?
  • What are the odds that modern technology and gadgets causes mass cancer? So a lot of people I know (including myself) spend a lot of time on their iPhones, Xbox, TV, etc. The people who are currently in their 80s-90s never really had that much exposure to this kind of technology all the time. What are the odds that all these screens are causing radiation poisoning or something and that a lot of us aren't going to live very long? I'm sorry if this is a really stupid question I just really don't know lol…
  • Touch technology and what is there? What types touch stuff is there besides iPhone tablets and other phones but is there tables like in the films or are we not there yet
