Due to the advancements in technology, society has found ways to avoid physical activities. E-mail has replaced sending letters, and one can take a ride in an elevator instead of climbing stairs. Personally, I prefer the sedentary for specific reasons. Being a fairly lazy person, I prefer the sedentary as it allows me to do things with ease. For example, instead of searching in encyclopedias for information, I can easily search the topic on the Internet with little effort. As technology advances, our lives are being made more relaxed. However, even though I prefer the sedentary, I still urge myself to be physical. It can be detriment to health if one never exercises or gets some fresh air. I find myself constantly craving fresh air or some form of physical exercise when I have been inside for a period of time. Once in awhile, I find myself taking the stairs instead of an elevator, or climbing trees instead of playing on the computer. My lifestyle is mainly sedentary, but I try to fit forms of physical activities in whenever I can.
