As for technology actually being lazy itself, this seems new.
Water filtration / sewage management in a city
Electric illumination transformed everyday life, improved working conditions, etc..

fire suppression: alarms, sprinklers, halon, fireproof and fire resistant materials
agricultural breakthroughs (e.g. Green Revolution)
life support (e.g. oxygen, anesthetic, NICU, insulin)
low cost clothing (compared to pre-Industrial Revolution) unlocked a lot of possibilities for people.
