Lazyness
To compensate for the time lost, we've created conveniences and accommodations in our lives that minimize the level of physical work we need to do in order to accomplish various tasks. In other words, we get less exercise than we used to. We don't wash our cars, we drive them through car washes. We also drive through banks and fast-food restaurants. We ride power mowers, use powered hedge clippers, self-cleaning ovens and garbage disposals, and dozens of other machines of convenience. We pay for our gas at the pumps instead of walking inside. Most popular of all - we don't even get up to change the channel anymore, as the remote control has become a household necessity, and the symbol of power for the one who holds it. For he, or she (but usually he) who holds the remote directs the journey through ninety-four channels of "nothing on".
