I don't think technology is laziness, it just enables it. Take that as you see fit.

As for technology actually being lazy itself, this seems new.

Sorry, I should have been more verbose. I meant: isn’t the entire history of technology just people deciding that it’s less effort to make a tool to do a job than it would be to do the job?

Some jobs were not possible without the tool. Two examples:

Water filtration / sewage management in a city

Electric illumination transformed everyday life, improved working conditions, etc..

I think you are ignoring technology as infrastructure having a transformative impact on life expectancy and quality of life.
