Ahh your average everyday couch potato so solid, stern, and never faltering. But have you ever wondered how man suddenly decided not to do anything porductive? Well for me the answer is very simple, technology did it! Eversince the technology ushered in the television, refrigerator, and the remote control man was suddenly presented with all these distractions. But technology didn't stop there, technology managed to get all those things that distracted man and put them in one must have device for every couch potato alive today, the La-Z-Boy. The La-Z-Boy was a Godesend to all the man-sloths its a comfortable recliner equipped with a built-in fridge AND a compartment to hold the remote, the only thing missing from the La-Z-Boy that would eliminate all forms of action for its owner is a built-in toilet.
Before technology presented these items to the world people were actually outside their homes and doing things that involved movement, not just finger movements real movements. People were interacting with each other not cramped in their living rooms watching re-runs. And in my opinion the children population had an increase in obesity because technology is turning them into couch potatoes. Kids before used to spend time outdoors playing games and sports but now kids are cramped in their rooms playing their videogames while eating their junk food. The link between technology and couch potatoes is very clear. The result of technological innovations that enhanced home comfort and entertainment has generated a new breed of man, the couch potato they may not be athletic, successful, or active but the world wouldn't be the same without them... I think
