The Standard Protocol - Solving Inflation

Quote from: carter34 on May 05, 2021, 12:11:36 PM

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.

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

You're absolutely right about this. In the past, when the potentials of the internet has not been explored, it could only be used to send emails and not do so many things. Now, with time, we have been able to stay in the comfort of our home and shop for goods. Does this make us lazy? I'd say no. Why should we stick to the old method of doing things if there's a better way? Why should we stress ourselves if there's a way that provides comfort.
Truth be told , the full potentials of the internet has not yet been tapped and you'd be amazed at what the internet could be used for. The recent one is the development of a better monetary system by the use of the Blockchain Technology. You'd see more, believe me you.

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.

I think differently from you! 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.

The use of internet has really made certain things very easy. To be specific, the transaction of money from one state to the other or to different location has changed because you can now stay in the city and wire money through different means to your loved ones. You don't really need to go through rigour and accident misfortune to do all that anymore. Also , the stores are now getting lesser congestion because people making request from internet.

But one factor against internet is to be careful not to be scammed.

No. The internet just simply gives you another option in buying things. In my country, both physical and online shopping is surprisingly popular. This does not make people lazy but instead, increases the income of sellers by the rise of purchasing power. Actually, people were lazy before we have the Internet. Therefore, the economy benefits a lot from the Internet

In fact, some people become lazy cause of the internet but on the other hand, others become smarter, more flexible, more productive thanks to the digital world. Everything has 2 sides. It always depended on an individual, whether he is born lazy

It also increases rate of consumption by the people but also at the same time making the economy moves faster, people have always been lazy since the very beginning and tbh people always gonna find the most efficient way to deal with things and internet brings just that.
if what you mean by lazy is people refraining from buying things in physical store then maybe, but in my dictionary that's not lazy, that's just being smart and efficient. guess what, time and energy better spent on something else like hobby, etc.
no need to travel few hours just to get things, not to mention internet also allow us to get more options.

The aim of technology is convenience after all so I think that there isn't any change because it was the aim in the first place. I would say that Internet make almost half of the people lazy but not all of them because I believe that it is the person's decision to be lazy and not the technology being provided.

why does it have to be laziness and not convenience while giving you your time back, the time that you would have wasted going to the store, staying in line and buying what you are buying online now.
technology has always been created to make our lives easier, as long as people don't drown in consumerism culture they would be fine.

For old people who has experience of buying things physically, technology gives convenience but for new generation that born on this new era, I believe this will cause laziness to them. Kids nowadays are very techy and don't know the basics, Once they feel any inconvenience, They will just leave it and mock. So the effect of this kind of setup will be experience on the next generation.

Judging from most of my surroundings - yes, the Internet has made people extremely lazy (physically). Up to the point when the person is lazy enough to go to the grocery store, which is in the same house he lives in! Instead, he chooses and orders food online.

On the other hand, Internet has also opened opportunities for other sorts of work, which resulted in people working and studying even more, than they used to in the past. For instance, years ago people would come home from work and relax, watch TV, play cards, or whatever. Nowadays, I know many people that occupy 2-3 jobs and work around the clock, and sometimes carry out many tasks simultaneously, all due to the opportunity of working online.

So it all depends on the person, as always. Someone spends all the time on social media and degrading and someone uses the Internet as an unlimited source of knowledge and opportunities.

The existence of the internet and electronics as a whole is an alternative and trading business selling/buying for now, of course, will make it easier for both parties to make buying/selling transactions.

But all of this has a positive and negative impact on the reality that many consumers feel.
Example:
• products that do not match what was expected with product quality that do not match the actual price there are also various purchase frauds that do not arrive and so on.

For that buying / selling transactions online, of course, makes it easier for the economy in general, the main thing is when making online transactions you are more careful in buying/selling to avoid things that can be detrimental to one party.

The internet has changed society in a lot of ways, but I think being lazy is not one of them. In terms of commerce I think society has changed in two major ways:

1) People have become more demanding regarding the offered range of products: Back in brick and mortar times one would simply buy what was available, no questions asked. Nowadays customer expect a much wider range of products to choose from than would even be possible in classical retail.

2) Increased acceptance of non-physical goods: Game downloads, streaming services, even purely cosmetic virtual goods. Especially relevant to crypto and a much harder sell when our online lifes didn't matter as much to most people. What is now called NFTs are a prime example of this. While I have doubts that much will come of it (at least in its current iteration) and they seem crazy to most people even today, a decade ago this concept would not even have warranted public discussion, except for in the most fringe of communities (like, you know, Bitcointalk).

Internet is just a piece of digitalization we are experiencing now and this is just an effect of having a more modern technology day by day and how the businesses and governments are implementing in into the society. Now we are seeing people used in offices and we have seen it involve through this pandemic where a lot of the company's work force are on a work from home setup showing that both the internet and other equipment make it possible that employees can work even without going to their offices.

Lazy might be another word but I think the best word for it is "more convenient" E-commerce was something that bloom and now we are seeing malls and supermarkets empty as they can now do their shopping through their mobile phones. People want this as a lot of people value their time and online shopping made it possible that they can save their time by shopping online.

The internet depends on how one uses it, with all kinds provided, regardless of making someone lazy or not, it comes back to the user. the internet is just a tool to make it easier for someone to do something. What used to be your job writing on paper, can now be easily typed. that's a simple example.
so the internet can make work easier from difficult to light. as for lazy sentences only for people who use the internet that does not produce anything, be it financial or intellectual.
