What is computing really good for?

Sure it has made life more convenient, but has it made us more content.

Or was the great intent for us to simply do more and more?

I really don't know anymore. You?

It's definitely human nature to be lazy at times. In my opinion, no level of technology would ever change that. Back before computers we still had lazy people but they did less than lazy people now. At least now we have more time to learn to socialize even from the toilet.

Thanks for the comment.

That is my point exactly - technology seems to have created so many avenues of distraction that you cannot even take a dump without the temptation of some distraction!
