In the article: Take the lazy way out? That’s too much work, the author talked about how the technology has made people lazier in today’s world. He thinks human being are pathetic because almost everybody is using spell check, grammar check in the computer and people are losing the capacity for correct word spelling and grammar. Technology has created a new standard, not of accuracy but of laziness and this makes people too lazy to take the lazy way out.
Talking about the bad sides of the technology, many people would probably think of the bombs, nuclear power, etc at first; however, there is another side that people may neglect---the laziness. The author acclaimed that Technology and laziness are locked in a vicious cycle. Technology has always promised to make people more productive and free us to think higher thoughts. Perversely, each innovation tempts us to further slack off. Considering this point, I could focus on how does technology provide human beings an opportunity to become lazy. The examples could be the invention of typos and grammar checks. I maybe become too radical about the bad sides of the technology, people would argue that everything has two sides; no one could promise the invention would be perfectly good for people. What I would like to write about is to do a research on how the technology is used to overcome laziness or discourage it.
Hopefully, I could get all the ideas together and write a nice research paper without being too radical about the technology.
