What’s one thing you stopped doing because the internet made it too easy?

For me, it’s remembering phone numbers. I used to know several by heart, now I barely remember my own.

Could be anything using a calculator, going to the bank, asking people for directions, remembering birthdays.

What has technology made you completely lazy at?

It's got to be shopping for me... be it food or other stuff

I'm guilty of ordering something online sometimes, something that I could just go out to the mall or supermarket to check for and get instantly but instead I order it online and wait a couple of days for delivery.

Sometimes it arrives the same day though : D

It's still kinda okay with food, I guess

I think technology hasn’t just made me lazy, it’s made me impatient.

I used to wait a whole week for a new episode of a TV show and actually enjoy the anticipation. Now I watch everything at 2x speed and still feel like it’s too slow.

Many people stop being a critical thinker.

A complete dependence on devices and AI now resulting in dwindly critical thinking and less brain power.

Mainly for shopping, because it gives me options to compare the prices.

Probably directions lol. I used to actually pay attention and remember where I was going, now I just open Maps and follow the blue line

Calculator use, watch use. Birthdays actually I still struggle even after all this tech.
