Over the years technology has changed. As we grow older and as technology revolutionizes, things we do are made simpler with the use of devices that fit right into the palm of our hands. Not too long ago you would’ve needed multiple devices to do the same things that a smartphone can do in a simple touch of an app. Or you would need to use your instincts and memory for certain things.

Are we becoming lazy?

Need to find you way to the nearest mall? Google and GPS it. Simple, right? What if we didn’t have that technology and had to figure out where the nearest mall was without the use of a handheld device? Would you find it? Most times the answer would be no. As technology makes life easier, it is erasing our ability to find things with knowledge and memory. The convenience of knowing that I’d simply have to just go to my “recent destination” on my phone to get directions to go somewhere would stop me from thinking that remembering how to get from point A to point B becomes irrelevant. Why use memory when we have access to information with one click or command to Siri?
