10 Things That Make People Lazy!

In no particular order, however the TV and CAR sure win my vote for making us most lazy!

1. Televisions
2. Cars
3. Cell Phones
4. Computers/The Internet
5. Gastric Bypass Surgery
6. Remote Controls
7. Automatic Gas Pump Handles
8. Drive-Thrus
9. Hands Free Car Washes
10. Couches

Have you seen the movie WALL-E yet? If not, the humans that are portrayed in that movie are not far from present day people. Fat, lazy, distracted and needing constant virtual stimulation!
I could make an entire sub-list of items related to the above top 10 list that help to keep our waists bulging and minds well rested!

So here's my take on each of the top 10:

1. TVs - What better a way to lounge around all day and all night and all weekend watching senseless television programs, movies, or playing video games! This one wins my personal award for most likely to make someone lazy because even in times of joblessness, the TV grips people from doing all kinds daily chores/duties - sort of like a tractor beam that just sucks you in and won't let go!!!

2. Cars - In the United States we pride ourselves with big wide open spaces, making it virtually impossible to stick with the old walking legs or maybe even a bicycle. Almost every single individual above the age of 18 has their own personal wheels. To make matters worse, big cities like Houston and Los Angeles are so unbelievably spread out and do not have decent public transportation that it almost forces to drive your car everywhere. Not only have cars caused our bellies to broaden, but they have almost single handedly lead to many many other problems such as serious pollution, dependence on foreign oil, and the massive concrete/asphalt expansion all over the planet. I hope we find a better solution for transportation issues soon!

3. Cell phones - Well at first these nifty devices seemed to be quite convenient. Inside of having to be "somewhere" to make or take a phone call now you could be anywhere! But soon just being a phone was no longer good enough, they had to start introducing things like a camera, then emailing, then full on Internet access, then endless applications that do almost anything a home computer can do! What's next for these little portable pocket geniuses? Please help us to not even think when we have a conversation with someone, just do it for us!

4. Computers / The Internet - I had to include the Internet in this one because computers alone just keep the geeks happy with their gaming, applications and nerdy programming languages.
