I completely agree that our progress in many fields has come from our need to make our lives easier. And that's perfectly fine. What needs to be changed is our very short-term way of thinking. If we are clever enough to to come up with all these solutions, we are also clever enough to predict what side effects they will have in the long term. Once we think about that, these side effects could be lessend or eliminated with a bit more work. That's where laziness really causes damage. P.S. That's a nice site you have. Keep up the good work, and hope to see you see you around more often. Point well made Nathaniel.

ALL of the innovations in technology where created so that we could avoid work. A great many good things have come from laziness, like farming, houses, computers, and even blogs and blogging software. I'm not lazy, I'm effecient. But you're right. There are several places where a bit of effort in the beginning would save us a ton of effort now... Problem is, we're also procrastinators. I'll stop being lazy and figure that out... later. ~Nathaniel If necessity is the mother of all invention, then Laziness is it’s father.

I’m not lazy, I’m effecient.

But you’re right. There are several places where a bit of effort in the beginning would save us a ton of effort now… Problem is, we’re also procrastinators. I’ll stop being lazy and figure that out… later.

Foiled Again! You have revealed my master plan to take over the world, one impressionable PDF reader at a time ... Mr. Parks, who have you been talking to? Thank you for being "not bothered" enough by this series of articles to keep track, and comment. I'm happy to know someone is reading this and liking it. The ebook is a great idea, and it is one I will do eventually. But that comes later. I have other ideas for the culmination of this series which I am still working on. (Running out of time! Must post on the 15th for Blog Action Day!) Let's see how that goes. So keep reading, and prepare to be amazed by the ... err ... environmental amazement!! Ok, that's all I've got for now. Curses! Foiled Again!
