Modern conveniences. The more dependent we are with modern conveniences, the lazier we've become as a society. Gyms are now equipped with escalators / elevators. Local restaurants and supermarkets will deliver food right to your door. Laundromats will iron and fold your clothes. We can watch movies online as oppose to going down to the video store to rent. Supermarkets such as Publix are pampering their customers with conveniences, including medical checkups, so we don’t have to go far. And, we are communicating more and more with our friends online as oppose to meeting up with them. All these modern conveniences, unfortunately, dampen our mobility.
