New inventions are created to make life more convenient for us. Ever since the invention of the wheel when we learned we could roll objects instead of carry them, there have been advancements that make life easier. With this regard, technology has effected exercise in a very negative way. We become too familiar with these conveniences and they become the norm. In essence we have become a lazy society because we don't have to work for many things anymore since they are already provided for us. Even the invention of the automobile aided in this method of thinking. After cars became common, it was unnecessary to walk anywhere.
We are a generation of high speed internet and instant gratification. Physical exercise is considered by most to be work, because it doesn't come to us as easily as many things do in our world today.
