Why does American society make things that are so "easy" so "complex"!?

For everything that is unnecessarily complext, there is an enterprising businessman who has thought of a way to make money.

Remember in Social Studies like 80 million years ago, when we learned about the barter system?\nI've often thought that society would be so much better if we acted like people did in the old days.\nBack when everybody was a farmer or had something to do with farming.....well, it WAS the life, after all.  People had to WORK, and therefore, children learned values and morals.  You couldn't have a roof over your head if you didn't build one, you couldn't have food on the table if you didn't grow it or kill it.\nPeople didn't get fat and lazy, because....well, if you're lazy, you die (based on the aforementioned actions of survival).  People didn't rip people off, because everybody had something somebody else might need, so why not work for each other and trade with each other....\nI prefer a simple life, myself.  I don't need much more space than you'd find in a single-car garage.  Plumbing is nice, but anybody who's ever been camping knows how to squat.  Food is far less expensive if you buy the ingredients in bulk and make it yourself, not to mention the nutritional value of ingesting foods not "processed"....  \nYou see where I'm going with this?

Its what you just added in your additional comment....it doesnt have common sense, but we do. Well, some of us do anyway =) \n\nComputers are a man-made machine and it only does things that the human programs it to do, but in a more efficient and faster way. If we train it to do mathematical things, it will solve it for us faster. If we want it to store huge amount of data, it will do it for us.\n\nHowever, they do not have common sense. We cant teach it to think morally or ethically. It just does what we tell it to do. They will never experience human emotions or concepts...it will only provide us the foundation and software to allow us to enter them into its system, but they will not process it like humans do.\n\nIts limitations is how much data we put into it. How much memory it has. Its life expectancy is how long the hardware survives. They get replaced easily because as the years passes, the technology and components get better. \n\nTheir limitations is how we built them.

I KNOW HOW YOU FEEL! WHY DO THEY HAVE TO MAKE IT ALL SO COMPLICATED?!?!

I don't deny that Americans have it easy, but it depends on where you work, and what kind of work ethic you have, really. I spent the last five weeks working 60 hours a week, with precious little time for breaks, if I want to keep up. \n\nMy supervisor, on the other hand, works 40 hours a week, and only has to give two half-hour breaks, and the rest of his 8-hour shift is spent eating, and surfing porn online. He's about 4 inches shorter than me, and outweighs me by about 150 pounds.\n\nAmericans have made laws to make things easier, and get less done throughout the day. This means we have to hire more people and pay benefits to many more people than we needed to, making non-technology-based companies charge more for their products, while overseas companies continually underbid our companies.\n\nBut there are a few of us still left that understand what it's like to work for a living.

That's not a question.   It's a rant.  If you do the work, you will succeed.   Many Americans are among the laziest people around.  For some reason they think the world owes them.   It doesn't owe anyone anything, and other cultures realize that.   It doesn't even owe you a fair boss - and many aren't.  So adjust and get off your duff and do the work!

Just a matter of taking the time to learn how. Many of the codes floating around are designed by one person then used by many. Like a car you do not have to know how to build one to drive it.

The answer is placed in your question. Doing the easier things in life makes life so much, well, easier. It also makes things faster. People like to get things done and go continue doing something else. It's how the "people system" works.

I am so glad to see a SENSIBLE question on here!  You are so right, we don't realize what an easy life we have, what little we have to complain about.  We get so annoyed about such small things that inconvenience us, but totally ignore things (like genocide) that happen to others.  People are inherently selfish people, and I am sometimes ashamed to be one when I see the crap some people come out with on these pages, so thanks for putting life in perspective.

if u r talking about value systems, they are determined by society, and we don't have to destroy earth, but it's easier for most to follow than to lead, there's always the easy way and the right way to do things, make your choice today!

This is far too complicated to just get down in a few words.\nBasically it was a matter of social structure and control.\nYou might check out the following sites:

It supposed to be really easy. Try looking in Yahoo search for a book on it.

Hmmmm, I find this an interesting question. People are different and they do things differently. Some are organized, some are not. Some find pleasure in order, some find pleasure in disarray. I don't know if there's a definitive answer to your question because I think there are a lot of different explanations for this behavior. Some people may not put things in a specified location because they are lazy, or don't know how to be organized or as I mentioned, find pleasure in disarray. I think some may even feel that the act of putting something away is tedious..monotonous. I am one of those people. I really can not explain why I'm like that and I certainly don't get pleasure of having to search for pencils, tablets, etc...but it's just how I am. I also do not know how to become organized and therefore it is less complex for me to just lay that pencil down anywhere, rather than have to organize a specific place for its placement. Some of us enjoy chaos and I'm not sure why. :)

I don't know about "easy", but she sure does get around. ;)\n\nIt's all relative.  Math comes more easily to some people than others.

I've noticed that intelligent people can make extremely difficult concepts and questions easy, short, and to the point. Whereas folks lacking in cognative power can turn something very easy into a confusing, long-winded mess.

Yes education is getting easier, and we are producing fewer and fewer thinkers.\n\nPeople can't do simple arithmetic without a calculator or a computer and many don't have any clues as to what goes on behind the scenes any more. Sure compare a 50 year old and e-mail. What happens when all the electricity goes down. Bet that 50 year old will still know what to do while you young'in are crawled under a desk in the fetal position.
