Lazy love

Embrace it as truth that humans are busy and lazy. Not in a bad way. Many cool things come to mind when ideating solutions around laziness.

So have we gotten lazy? Or was it never fair in the first place? An example with cell phones... I don't ever have to remember my friends phone number because I have her saved and I simply have to remember one piece of information about her, her name, which is in my directory. That seems fair. A basic requirement in any friendship is to at least know the name of your friend. But if I don't want to remember even her name I can assign her to my speed-dial, so all I have to remember is a single number that I need to hold down to call. And if I am even lazier than that, I can choose to forget that speed dial number and just remember by visual mapping which button it is on my dial pad that triggers the speed dial (ex. That button on the bottom right). And if I don't even want to have to open my eyes to look for this button I can just, by feel, know that when I hold my phone with my left hand then its the button toward the area just below where my thumb naturally rests.
