Re:People are lazy. (Score 1)

Laziness is certainly more of an option today, but is it really the main driving force behind technology or the rationale for automation?

Am i lazy because i don't build the apartments i live in or chop my own firewood? Technology is supposed to be about efficiency. Sloths are just on civilization's coattails.

I've thought a lot about what complete connectivity will mean in public in the future. Will i get a voicemail from the person sitting across the restaurant telling me i have food on my face? Will i get videomail of the guy behind me giving me the bird because i just cut him off on the freeway? We're going to need a lot of filters, but connectivity can be useful as well. If you meet someone at a party and you've already seen each others' profiles, you don't have to waste time on banal small talk.

Laziness comes from within, not from too many tools.

Time for me to go to sleep!
