The way things were done in the past have changed from what it is. In the area of buying and sell especially, you can stay in your house and do all your shopping all because of the availability of the internet. Before this time, the internet was majorly used for sending of email and other short and non elaborate internet activities but all that has changed to real marketing online.
This has changed the economic system in no small extent that people prefer not to go to the market physically but go stay back home and in there comfort do the buying and selling.

Is the internet making people lazy or what do you think?

Like they say, technology saves time and effort. The internet has only made things easier for us, and I wouldn't say that is being lazy. Anyone who is lazy is always going to be lazy, whether there is internet or no internet. Someone who is not lazy is always going to use the extra time to get to do other activities that they have to do. For example, let's say that you go to work and work 9 to 5, and then you have to go to the market, cook food, and also wash clothes by 6pm.

Instead of going to the market and wasting your whole time buying foodstuffs or making grocery shopping, you can just do all that online and have it delivered to your house. While that's being done, you can use that time to do your laundry, and by the time you're done with laundry your order online has arrived and you just go straight into cooking. By doing that you have saved time for yourself. So the internet doesn't make you lazy, it's just saving your time and effort.

Nice example, the lazy will always find an excuse to not do things, lets use washing your clothes as an example, before the invention of the washing machine washing clothes was a very time consuming activity, so if you wanted clean clothes you had to go through a huge effort, then the washing machine was invented but this was before electricity so you actually had to activate the machine manually but it was way easier than before and yet the lazy refused to wash their clothes as needed, now washing clothes is so easy that you only need to push a button and yet the lazy refuse to do it so technology is not at fault here.
