Yes, but look at it this way. Technology is what it taking us straight into this age. We have toilets that will flush themselves now as well as sinks that will turn on when we stick our hands under the tap because we're too lazy to push a lever or turn a knob. These days, you can rent movies, order groceries, pay your bills, and even some people work there jobs right from their homes on a computer. Physical activity is quickly becoming less and less necessary to get things done. It's no wonder humanity is becoming obese.
