People Are Lazy!

One obsession that I’ve noticed as I have grown-up older is that people are getting Lazier. While a lot of people may contradict this, we live in a lazy culture. And Unluckily, people are in receipt of lazier every day.

People nowadays simply don’t want to work hard; they desire life to be as easy as Probable. They want belongings to be easy and easy, and they want the whole thing handed to them … and that’s especially true for today’s younger production!

In today’s world, most people would rather watch television or surf the internet than read a book. You see, People love to be entertained. Ever since TV was invented, more people have been staying home watching TV instead of going out with friends or being outdoors.

Television has influenced our modern society more than Anything else … that is, until the World Wide Web was Invented. As the internet has evolved, people have realized that they can find information about anything and everything online. They can also buy products, interact with others, play games, pay their bills, and even make a full time income online.

The internet is becoming more developed and complex with millions of new websites being added every year. Incredibly, many people (such as myself!) now spend more time ‘surfing’ the internet than they do watching TV!

When the internet was just starting, most websites were rather simple and boring. Most sites contained only simply text information … very few images, graphics, or photos. As you can imagine, those sites were quite boring. If you did happen to visit a site that had an image, then it certainly caught your attention.

Eventually webmasters & website designers began using clip art and other visual effects on their websites to get people’s attention. It was soon discovered that the websites and advertisers who used some form of visual stimulation were attracting many more people to their site then those sites that were using only plain text.

Let me ask you, which would you rather look at:

a) An attractive, well designed webpage that uses nice images & graphics that compliment the text article.

-OR

b) A webpage that uses only text.

Unless you like being bored out of your mind, you would choose the well designed webpage with nice images – right?

You’re not alone as all humans are highly visual creatures. Even something as simple as a cartoon photo can be a source of entertainment to us. Have you ever received an email that had a funny cartoon in it? Or maybe an email that had a really cute picture of a cuddly kitten or adorable child … isn’t that much more entertaining than the average text only emails?

Another example is children. If you are a parent, then you know first hand that if the average child has a choice, they would much rather watch TV or play video games instead of reading a book.
