Tivo and Dominos

While going through some of the postings that Professor Regales posted on her blog I came across the Tivo and Dominos Pizza team up. I remember when we spent pretty much a whole class talking about this and I think that it is another thing that America is doing to make us more lazy and fat. People already complain about how inactive our society is today, so why would we let Tivo make it so we can order food from our television set? I mean I guess that it is kind of the same thing as ordering the food over the phone, but at least we might not have been sitting around being lazy and watching tv. Maybe we were actively doing things around the house or just got back from running and wanted to order food for the night. But, now we are allowing people to order food from their television which means that they are sitting around being a couch potato. I do not get it and I think that it is absurd. Some people would disagree with me and that is fine, but next thing that we are going to have is people being called over to deliver the food right to our couch and possibly even feed it to you.

I completely agree with Americans become lazier with all these new technologies. The more and more inventions we create the easier it is for our society to become obese and lacking physical activities. However things like Wii Fit have come along and allowed people to use video games to exercise. So with the good comes the bad, but ultimatly it's our own decision to sit on our buts or go outside and enjoy nature.
