Top 10 Inventions that Were Probably Inspired by Laziness
I'm not complaining, I enjoy most of the inventions I put on this list.
These inventions can also be explained in a more serious way, such as through societal changes, the transition to urban lifestyles, changing needs, and demands.
But what if some inventions were actually products of human laziness? That might be true as well. Haha.

Elevators
Just press a button, wait for the elevator to come down, get in, and it will take you up. Elevators are great if you're pushing a cart or in really tall buildings.

Online Shopping
It's scary that Amazon will probably, at some point, have a complete monopoly on the entire shopping industry. We need to support small businesses, but at best, it's a feeble attempt to keep them going.
