How lazy have we become

[sparks19]

WOW It is just starting to sink in with me how lazy we have become in this world.

I saw a commercial for "pre bunned hotdogs" We can't even put them on the bun ourselves anymore? LOL does it really save that many precious seconds to have them come already on the bun lol.

Pre lit christmas trees. what fun is that. if you dont' want to decorate it then don't get a tree. thats half the fun.... decorating it yourself. It's not like the lights are difficult to put on the tree.

Everyday I just see some silly corner that has been cut and think.... why?

Can't we do anything for ourselves anymore?

Has anyone else noticed this trend?

I think we have become too busy! Always busy...I like the pre-lit trees but think a lot of the food products are way over the top.

Well some things are rediculous, but I like the prelit trees. I work two jobs, have three kids, a household, and a pets, and my husband has a progressive condition which makes it impossible for him to help me so I LOVE my prelit tree. I don't think it's lazy to get prelit trees, but I do agree that a whole lot of other things nowdays lare geared toward "easy", even my space heater has a remote control.

I really don't like convenience foods, I think they are terribly bad for you most of the time and prefer to cook things myself. I agree that some things are just silly, things like hot dogs already in buns, LOL. On the whole we have all been able to become "lazier" because of conveniences, but I have to admit SOME of them I really like hehe. I also think a lot of it has to do with how busy we all are with our lives nowdays, that plays a big part in why some of the conveniences are pretty nice.

I agree "pre-bunned" hot dogs sounds awful but it does solve one problem....the uneven number of hot dogs in a package to the number of buns in a package.......

Good one! I don't mind the pre-lit trees - I just leave the lights on mine and voila- my own pre-lit tree! I think the foods reflect lifestyle trend - kids left to fend for themselves while parents work, single adults, no sit-down meals anymore in many homes. There are a lot of people who just never learned to cook, too. So I don't know if it's laziness, or just the way our society has changed.
however, do we really need so many gagets to do things for us? I'm amazed by the robot vacuums, and how many remote-control devices there are.
