Is the internet making people lazy or what do you think?

Let me not go too far with this and give you an awesome example nearby me. Here in India, we have Dalal Street.

There, the people used to deal with each other through signs (via their hands and fingers to determine how much they are buying or selling for which stock). Then came the online share trading platform, which increased a lot of convenience for those standing in huge crowd now able to do the same thing with a lot more advanced features from the comfort of their home. If internet wasn't there, how would that become possible? Just think.

The way things were done in the past have changed from what it is. In the area of buying and sell especially, you can stay in your house and do all your shopping all because of the availability of the internet. Before this time, the internet was majorly used for sending of email and other short and non elaborate internet activities but all that has changed to real marketing online.
This has changed the economic system in no small extent that people prefer not to go to the market physically but go stay back home and in there comfort do the buying and selling.

This is called progress, development

This is a modification of the existing market, taking into account the current characteristics, trends and technologies. Now I almost do not go to the markets - it is easier for me to order in the networks I know, the products I know, and they will bring me home from, or where I need them. At the same time, I will not waste TIME and will take fuel for the car for the trip, this will compensate the cost of delivery. And I also have bonuses, promos and so on, which makes the final price even more profitable!
Living in Europe, I buy socks in the USA without trying them on, at a competitive price, with the pattern I want! And it is beneficial and convenient for me!
I mean business through a mobile phone, make payments for all services, manage finances, home security. I communicate through the phone with friends who live 10,000 km away!
Try to travel back 20-30 years and imagine what people would think of you if you told people all this?

This is progress, it will be even more interesting further!

There's a fine line between laziness and convenience IMO. Most are using online shopping services because it's more convenient and not time consuming as opposed to going to a physical store and looking for that certain item, only to realize that it's out of stock. Also, with the current situation that we are in, it's infinitely better to do your shopping online on trusted stores than to risk contracting COVID while trying to buy an item that you need/want. A lot of things really changed on the advent of the internet, and most of it thankfully are beneficial more than they are harmful to the ways of humans.

We cannot say the internet is making one lazy if you talked about that what technology as a whole. For you having a washing machine, dishwashers and various electronics just for your comfort and easy way of life are we going to call all this Lazy. The Internet makes commercial business and all way easier for both sellers and traders. Though there are still some things you will prefer to see in the physical market if you don't want to regret your actions.

That's part of things I don't really like doing on the internet... I mean constantly exposing your private info and things you buy on the internet to online stores (and people) who would end up knowing where you live. That's is alot of sensitive information to expose to people you don't know much about. It's abit strange that societies allowed this.
I think a proper decentralized p2p cryptocurrency with privacy/anonymity features could help in this regards without compromising on the security of a society.

The sad thing about data privacy online is that we don't arrive at a compromise that will satisfy both the users and the companies. You are right about decentralization but the problem that I see with it is that companies are able to get in to it and make their own rules.

Is the internet making people lazy or what do you think?

If you say that the internet is at home and just lie there without doing anything outside the house, it is not healthy for you. Indeed the internet makes things instant until everyone just lives at home. This makes humans unhealthy because they don't do activities such as walking to the market. Even though you can exercise in the house but breathing the fresh air in the morning is better. But that's the development of the times we feel, like it or not, with all of this you have to follow it. Maybe if the earth could still survive, everything would be done digitally without any movement in everyone's chair or bed. Pathetic.

It all depends on the upbringing of a person and his personal qualities, which affect the perception of the environment and the way in which a person builds his life and what goals in life he is trying to achieve. there is a category of people who live on welfare, order pizza with the help of a messenger and spend the whole day in front of a TV or computer. And there are People for whom the Internet, as well as other high technologies of the modern world, provide vast opportunities for realizing their goals.

So is this all a good thing in your opinion? or it becomes a poison that will kill many people later. Everyone will be lazy to move and do activities with this person. But is there anything to do with the virus that comes at this time? These are the two things that make up the benefits and drawbacks of the internet. You should be grateful because there are still people in this world who cannot play the internet or have the technology to talk to other people.

Is the internet making people lazy or what do you think?

technological developments often bring two opposing things: 1. effectiveness in living, 2. making people comfortable with the help of technology so that they seem "lazy"

Yet the reality is not like that. although we also have to control ourselves so as not to be too dependent on comfort, we must have self control. technological developments are created to facilitate human activities, to make things more effective, not to make them "lazy". if there is an easy one, why should you choose a difficult one?

and the development of the internet has brought about major changes, including in terms of economy and lifestyle. work now does not have to be done in the office, even only from home and using t-shirts, we can do the job.

Is the internet making people lazy or what do you think?

As the size of the human population grows, new methods must be devised to boost productivity, transportation and efficiency to sustain growing demand for food, water, goods, living space and other necessities.

Gains in productivity and efficiency translate to less specialized skillsets and intelligence being necessary for survival. Over time challenges and obstacles which were historically difficult and non trivial become more geared to so-easy-a-caveman-could-do-it formats.

There are definitely avenues in which our growing technology influences our culture that are not being widely acknowledged. In the past, someone would have to read books to develop a good knowledge base. Today they need only visit google and do a keyword search to try to educate themselves on topics, they know little or nothing about. The game has definitely changed. And who knows what the long term implications might be.

In my opinion, the internet does not make people lazy to go shopping or buying and selling activities, it can make it easier for everyone. Many use internet features for business purposes, in the modern era like now, if you can't use the internet, it will actually make someone feel useless because you can't feel the benefits of this technological sophistication.

^ I don’t think that the internet should be taken negatively as making people lazy because it is not.
I myself can guarantee that I will probably have been a drug addict or an unemployed parasite if I have not learned how to take advantage of the internet.
Internet is indeed changing the way of buying and selling. But it is actually a good one. Imagine there is a lot of people being employed because of that delivery platform? People can also protect themselves from being outdoors and be committed to an unwanted and unsafe crowd just to buy their stuff. So I don’t see any point in having the internet considered as negative.

The internet greatly affects how the economy of a society is. keep in mind that the internet is very fast at spreading information. from this information if the public receives it well, the internet will affect it. for example how to dress, type of car, drugs. it all depends on community members on whether to be creative or lazy.

I think internet didn't make people lazy but it is social media. If I am not wrong everyone has something called muscle memory that make human repeat their habbit. Internet just help improve the quality of the service in a business. Innovation always created for improve costumers satisfaction.

Yep, I agree with you mate. Internet doesn't make people lazy in fact it helps people in daily lives. For example sending email, we can send and receive immediately the message unlike when there is no internet it takes days before we receive the letter. Internet helps us to reconnect to our loved ones far from us. Also, we can buy online all the stuff that we need inside the comfort of our home and doesn't need to gou out which is very helpful in these days (pandemic). And about muscle memory I've read online that's the something bluish light came from our screen makes us awake and stay longer in our screen. It's also the reason why most of the app are color blue. I am strong believer that internet help us a lot to make our life easier and better esp. buying online and selling. It makes people life easier, it gives people job they earn money and make feed their family, it helps the small businesses.

It is not about being lazy this is about being more efficient, before the pandemic I preferred most of my purchases to be done in a physical store as it was important for me to not wait for delivery and get my product immediately, but with the pandemic and the desire to avoid exposing myself I had no option but to rely on online purchases to do this and now even if the pandemic is slowly subsiding I think I am going to keep going this route as it is simply more efficient.

The advent of the Internet made the world change. In the past, people who wanted to shop for anything had to go directly to markets, shops, and supermarkets. Now in the modern age - the era of technology 4.0, just stay at home with a phone or computer connected to the Internet to buy everything you need. It saves you time. So online business is very developed. Society now only needs money to shop at home.

I agree with you on that. People keep talking about "small business dying" because of internet as well, but in reality any business that can go online could actually survive very well and that is a good thing. Almost anyone can start an online shop these days which means anyone could make money. My spouse sold some glass paintings they made, even though they sold like 10-15 of them and not much but that was something they could never even imagine if they wanted to in any other case, that is the good part and that is why I like it so much.

Internet brought the world to our home, we can live in Australia and sell something to Germany and that type of power is not something you could have in the shop around the corner. It is not making people lazy, on contrary it is making people work harder and harder because they see success on the internet business and join themselves.

The internet is not making you lazy, it’s up to you on whether you’re going to be lazy or not. It’s just the same with most things that we have these days, they are made to help make life easier, but bad people are always looking for ways to misuse them for the wrong purpose. So in the case of whether internet is making us lazy in terms of what buying and selling has changed to, I would say No, because it’s actually providing us with more time to get things done.

There are a lot of us that are very busy that we need more time to either work or carry out some other activities, and now we can get that extra time, instead of running out to go to the market , we can now make the orders of all the things that we need from online stores and have it delivered to our doorsteps, and by doing that we have saved time and accomplished more.

One of my professor once told me about one of the essence of research and it was for the convenience of everyone. Knowing that internet and technology are fruits of millions or billions of research just to make it effective, we can already say that the internet offers convenience and revolution towards our old ways. At some point, we can say that the internet makes us lazy but we can reason it out through showing how easier things can be done with the help of the internet so why struggle on an old-school way. We don't need to get stuck and do things with struggle just because we find internet as a tool that makes us lazy, we are free to enjoy the outcome of the researches made beforehand.
