You do have a point with the 5 mile walking thing, but society gets stupider and stupider as technology increases...
For Example, back in the 1960's and 1970's When Microsoft wasn't off trying to conquer the world, people had to write Research papers by hand, or on the Typewritter...yes the typewritter (ask your parents). Now that we have spell check, and computers to aid drafting, it makes the human have to do less work to accomplish more in less time. Therefore, less effort. Also Texas Instruments is making the earth stupider. Now with the Ti-83+ up to the Ti-whatever, math has become really easy, plot points in the calculator, and bam you have a circle drawn for you....
Im not anti-Technology by any mean, but what I said is all true....
Thats my $0.02
