Laziness through technology

Nothing makes me happier than being able to not do something. This is probably a driving force behind the popularity of certain websites and forms of technology. I would argue, for example, that the aggregator website was born from laziness. The convenience of having a wide range of subjects not just thrust in front of you, but sorted for you, is digital laziness. RSS feeds are similar. I'm a fan of both. Recently, I discovered a couple of ways to not do things that almost made me feel bad for doing them. A couple of weeks ago I left my phone downstairs when I went to bed, but I wanted to check my account balance. It would have taken me about a minute to go and get it and call the number that tells you your balance. Instead, I decided to log into my provider's site and get it from there, but it said I needed to know a number on my SIM card to be able to find my balance. I remembered that your balance can be found on their app, but unfortunately, it is a mobile app and you can't use it on a computer. Undeterred, I downloaded an Android ISO, booted a VM, and installed the app to look at my balance. It took 20 minutes longer than walking downstairs, but I didn't have to move an inch. Similarly, I have found a way to walk my dog without moving. Instead of going through all the trouble of putting his harness on (bastard slips out of his collar), standing up and _walking_, there is a way to do this without leaving the house. I charged my drone today and flew it around the back garden at a height my dog couldn't reach it, but was still willing to chase it. I did this until the battery started flashing low power, charged it again, and then flew it around some more. As a fortunate result of the way my house was built, I was able to do this from the safety of my kitchen, looking out into the back garden. I am now utterly convinced that /s/Technolazy needs to exist, but I have reached my sub limit.
