Technology.

Technology is making many people lazier than ever. In fact, now-a-days people don't like to move their "butts", not even just to turn on the TV (etc...).
Luckily in our case it has affected us, but it isn't very serious, because we consider ourselves active people.
Sure we like to waste our time doing nothing, and just play our video games, our surfing the internet, but we don't let it get to us soo hard.
What we prefer, or at least we use more are mobile phones, PC, playstation, and in Carlos' case the Ipod.
Now speaking more generally, people only get affected by technology if they want to, 'cause outdoors there are soo many activities and soo much fun that (if we want to) it will not be replaced by technology. We need to know to distinguish the two worlds.

Considering school work, it depends of the kind of student we are. A few years ago students need to be more dedicated and apply more to their skils, but in the days we live in it's not soo good 'cause most of students don't understand what they are doing, and don't even try, they just google it and copy and paste.
If we want too we can make much better work than this, but the problem is that students are getting lazier and lazier.... such that many aspects of a student's life are getting lost our just forgoten, anyway we can not sit down and let technology do everything for us.
