<p>Do changes that make our lives easier not necessarily make them better?</p>
<p>Is "fast" food better food? Most changes intended to make life easier do make certain tasks easier and more convenient, but only temporarily. These changes will eventually have negative consequences as they create a more lazy and unhealthy lifestyle.</p>
<p>Remote controls were invented to make the average couch potato's life a litter easier. The immediate result was the satisfaction of millions of T.V. viewers finally able to flip through channels with ease. However, the remote also creates an environment that promotes people to live lazy lives. Laziness may not seem horrible at first, but when brought to the extremes, laziness can be deadly. Modern Space Stations com e equipped with exercise machines because astronauts used to come home form long space voyages with deteriorated muscles. The astronauts became so used to living the lazy life in zero-gravity that they weakened themselves to the point of hospitalization.</p>
<p>Along with promoting a dangerously lazy lifestyle, good-intentioned changed can also worsen a person of whole community's quality of life, by creating an unhealthy environment. The Industrial Revolution made many manufacturing tasks easier; however, the smog and poor working conditions made the life of average worker and, that of his family, miserable.</p>
<p>Today the world is faced with a similar problem: global warming. Although it is convenient and profitable to pump unwanted greenhouse gases into the atmosphere, it is also changing the environment in a way that will eventually harm every organism living on Earth.</p>
<p>In conclusion, changes intended to make life easier will eventually make life harder, by causing people to become lazy, weak, and unhealthy, and by causing the environment people are living in to become unhealthy. What it all comes down to is an individual's definition of a "better" life. Some would consider an easy life better regardless of any eventual negative consequences, and others would consider that lifestyle to be worse.</p>
