While all day can be spent arguing about what makes americans stuppider/lazier/fatter, in all simplicity the true answer is that we're either too busy or don't care enough to do anything about it. It's not the fault of companies and technology, but rather the individual person. Calculator, computers, television, planes, trains, and automobiles (couldn't help myself), and etc. are all godsends, in my opinion, giving us new options for old tasks and improving the quote-unquote global efficiency of the species as a whole.
In the end, though, it's not who can make their box faster, stronger, better, that wins. It's those who put themselves in the mindset of how best to exploit the technology at hand that will trimuph and be successful out there in the big wide world.
