Conveniences

The definition of convenience is

state of being able to proceed with something with little effort or difficulty.

People like convenience. We like things delivered to us like pizza and stuff from Amazon. Getting out to do something can be a hassle and in our modern lives we want things brought to us. It used to be people would get out and do things in community. The grocery store is one place that everyone has to go to because we gotta eat. We have seen a shift how we are being catered to for maximum convenience. One question can be asked has convenience led to laziness? I can say I like the conveniences brought to us by technology. I don’t have to use actual handwriting much because of the keyboard and for me that is a convenience because I hate hand writing anything.

People are likely to give if it means their donation can be picked up close to home. Companies spend billions on figuring out how to bringing goods and services to individuals but that has cost some folks their jobs because their brick and mortar store has been closed due to competition and changes in the marketplace. So has our desire for convenience been good for us or is it just making us more isolated and dependent on the labor of others? These are some questions we need to answer, just when its convenient for us. Excuse me, I am going to go order something online.

    1. There is a report online about abandoned shopping malls and they became abandoned in part because people order online and other market factors. People would rather shop in their PJ’s than to go out and shop.
