Watching Amazon: Is Technology Making Us Lazy Or Is It Unleashing Our Inherent Laziness?
From time to time I include my Watching Amazon conversations with ecommerce expert John Lawson here when we touch on something that may hit home with the Small Business Trends community. And in the midst of Amazon\u2019s recent killer quarter \u2013 being driven in part by its Amazon Web Services (AWS) division and the Echo device line with Alexa inside \u2013 people are adopting modern technology in more aspects of their personal and professional lives. But is this technology driving us to be lazy, or is it fueling our inherent laziness? And what role should modern tech play in how small businesses operate?\n\nThese are a few topics that grew out of our latest Watching Amazon episode. Below is an edited transcript of our conversation. To see the full conversation check out the video below, or click on the embedded SoundCloud player. And leave a comment below to tell us if you think technology is making us lazy or exposing our laziness \u2013 and how we should use it in our businesses.
