1. Never heard the term before.

Do you have a context? Have you tried the Google?

[Heather MC]

2. Well What do you think it is?

Imagine that I asked the one question that can't be Googled
Isn't that curious?

[PoindexterOglethorpe]

3. Where or how did you hear or see the term?

[Heather MC]

4. It's amazing what you find in the quiet corners of the Internet sometimes🤷🏾‍♀️

What would you call electronic lazy?🤔

[BlueSpot]

7. Ok...

I never heard it before either but my initial guess that it describes somebody that has Alexa or Google turn on the lights or change the thermostat and stuff like that. But my extreme version of that is telling the TV what to play when the remote is just a reach away.

I guess you could pile on and all this is going on while your lawn waters itself and who knows what else, lol.

[Heather MC]

10. Isn't it funny that this term doesn't exist on Google, According to what someone posted earlier

All the stuff we can find on Google, but we can't find anything about being electronic lazy.

That's curious isn't it?

[BlueSpot]

11. Haha

Funny to read this after seeing the other things that posted moments earlier.

[Heather MC]

25. Other things like what? I would love to haha with you lol

🤣

[BlueSpot]

27. About if it was older folks picking on the younger set or vice versa n/t

[gratuitous]

5. Does that have to do with being unable to find the remote?

And you wind up watching a show you don't like?

[Heather MC]

6. Is that what it means to you?

Losing the remote control, such a nightmare isn't it. I just lost mine for about 3 days I just figured I wasn't supposed to watch television until I found it🤷🏾‍♀️

3 days no television, and then it Appeard. The chair ate it lol

[gratuitous]

8. Just a guess

I have no idea what "electronic lazy" actually means. But the missing remote thing makes sense.

[Heather MC]

31. How so?

[gratuitous]

34. Well . . .

Remotes are electronic devices and being too lazy to get up and change the channel manually would seem to fit both ends of the phrase.

[Heather MC]

35. For you? Are televisions the only electronics?

Thank you for answering my question.
My apologies if it just leads me to more questions.
💜

Are television the only electronics That can be associated with being electronically lazy?

[gratuitous]

39. I'm happy with my answer

[Heather MC]

40. cool💜

Have I upset you? I was only intending to have a conversation with you my friend.
Of course you're always free to leave.
Thanks for the chat

[AntivaxHunters]

9. lol oh boy, this won't go over well....

I know what it is.
I don't expect this to go over well.

"Electronic lazy" is slang for boomers who are out of touch with technology and have no inclination to learn to use it.
Think smart phones, Roku, how to Twitter, texting, streaming, etc.

Signed the parent of a Gen Zer.

[Heather MC]

12. Is that your definition do you think I'm a Boomer?

Or do you think the term was invented by a Boomer

Could we get wisdom from the elderly, or are they just reduced to an insulting word now because the Internet told us to do that?

I don't know how you treat your elders, but I lean on my grandmother and mother for their great wisdom.
It's rather sad that The elderly are just considered a burden and we call them boomers and we keep trying to make them shut up.

It used to be in simpler times We respected the wisdom of our elder.

For example, I back in park everywhere I go because my grandmother told me that's what I should do. And every time I'm in a situation where I'm so grateful she taught me that I always say, thanks grandma

She died in 2009, we buried her the day president Obama was inaugurated.

I appreciate her wisdom It still helps me today. I would never disrespect her by just reducing her to the word "Boomer"

[AntivaxHunters]

15. No lol

I asked my kiddo when I read your post and he told me lol

Why ask the question if you're only going to be big mad with the person who provided you with that very answer.
That's all that. An answer. To the question YOU asked.
Sigh.......

[Heather MC]

18. My sincere apologies if you think I'm angry

I was just having a conversation with you my friend.

I have no reason to be angry with you I was just asking.

Don't be upset OK it's all good I promise
💜
So tell me what do YOU THINK it means Electronic Lazy?

[AntivaxHunters]

20. What do I personally think?

I get it. I had to train both my parents on everything electronic- from the internet itself to using email, smartphones, and MP3 players.
My father who's 75 years old has said numerous times "my brain and everyone else's brain my wave isn't made for all these fancy pants gadgets out of a Bond movie!" lol

I see it as I don't really know what.
Are you familiar with the website Urban Dictionary?
If you aren't, it's basically the "defacto standard" of American slang in 2022.

[Heather MC]

23. I'm not understanding your answer how how come you hear the words "electronic lazy"

And you automatically apply it to elderly people. Aren't they the ones who use electronics the least?
How can someone who doesn't really use electronics become electronic lazy?

[BlueSpot]

13. Interesting

I used it to dunk on them when were trying to use it to dunk on me!

[AntivaxHunters]

17. lol

I swear, the slang in American English changes by the minute these days.

[Heather MC]

30. How is that American slang? There are 2 real words put together in a sentence.

What is electronic lazy? What do you think it is?

[PoindexterOglethorpe]

14. I still think knowing just how you stumbled across the term

would give a helpful context.

Or did you simply find a posting somewhere that simply said "electronic lazy" with nothing before or after?

[Heather MC]

16. I find it hilarious that you hear 2 words and all you want to know where they came from

You don't need contexts from me to have an opinion about something you read do you?
I'm just curious what YOU THINK. Not what Google says, I can always look something up right we can all do that.

I always tell my children, "don't ask me questions you can Google" and then we laugh
I guess that's why you keep asking me this question because you can't Google it.

[PoindexterOglethorpe]

21. Yep. I always want to know more.

I can have an opinion about it, but I could throw out lots of other two word combinations and ask the same question. And context would still matter.

And I'm not the only one here asking that question.

[Heather MC]

22. I just said the internet, Isn't everything on the Internet?

That's the way it feels sometimes doesn't it?
I don't know what else to say to you but that I must have heard it or saw it a few days ago and it's just been and I finally decided to ask you guys what it was.

But everybody just seems to want to know where it came from that's very interesting.
I'm fascinated thank you.

[PoindexterOglethorpe]

24. You might have said in the OP that you saw or heard it a few days ago

and it's been long enough to have forgotten the context.

Oh, well. I'm not willing to speculate on what it might mean because I can think of more than one possibility, and they are vastly different meanings. But I will pay attention if I ever come across that term.

[Heather MC]

28. May I ask why did it comfort you so much that you felt I got it from the Internet what if?

Why does it have to be on the Internet somewhere else for you to comprehend an answer?

What if I saw it on a flier, on the side of the road?

What if somebody spray prainted it across a bridge why does it matter where it came from why can't you answer the question?? What is electronic lazy? TO YOU FRIEND?

I'm only asking because this is really fascinating I didn't think this was going to happen I just wanted to ask a question.

[Gidney N Cloyd]

19. Google comes up with nothing. I suspect it's not well-known term. Where'd you hear it?

[Heather MC]

33. Fascinating people really are concerned that this isn't on Google

Isn't that fascinating a term that's not on Google?

If you just had to use your own mind, what do you think it means?

[Lancero]

26. Sounds like another way to say electronically amish.

[Heather MC]

32. So you think being electronic lazy, is being without electronics?

That's interesting, What would someone who has no electronics and chooses not to for their entire generations and cultures have to do with being electronically lazy?.

Did the Amish ever say we're just too lazy to use electronics?🤔

[Lancero]

45. It doesn't mean doing away with all technology in this case.

Rather, it means refusing to use newer technology in favor of something older.

So, someone who is electronically lazy/amish is fine with older tech but refuses to use newer stuff. For example, someone who is fine with using cellphones as long as it's a older flip-phone and not a smartphone. It's good enough, less complex.

In regards to the Amish, see their rejection of modern forms of transportation (ie, cars) but their embrace of it's older equilivant - the horse and carriage. Although for the Amish it's more a case of rejecting complexity over anything electronic - It's why they also reject bicycles in favor of push scooters. Scooters are good enough for their needs, and less complex than multi-geared bicycles.

[Heather MC]

46. Interesting, So your definition is that people who refuse to use newer

Electronics, are somehow lazy electronically?

What about people dependent on electronics? Maybe lazy? I don't know

I appreciate your perspective

[Lancero]

47. Electronic dependency is another thing, which we've already got a simple phrase for.

Smart tech for dumb people.

[Heather MC]

50. Isn't this the English language? Perhaps electronic dependency doesn't go deep enough?

But electronic lazy, A phrase that doesn't exit on Google According to others who have posted. isn't that a little bit interesting?

I appreciate your input.

[ChazII]

36. Electronic Lazy

A name of a new musical group?

[Heather MC]

37. 🤣🤣🤣🥂

That's hilarious I love it.
What do you think would be the titles of their album?

[ChazII]

38. Hmm, good question.

I will have to get back to you on that one. Being spontaneously creative is not one of my talents.

[Heather MC]

42. By all means take your time even if it takes you a few days

But please come back and tell me it doesn't have to be a big album it could just be their number one single lol
And yes the title not the entire song I really want to know what you think, Chazll💜

[Sympthsical]

41. I imagine similar to device lazy

For example. Been doing a lot of outlining/notes for a microbio exam tomorrow. This involves underlining a lot of things in Word. The problem is, underlining requires hitting ctrl-U, which is hard to do with one hand. It's just an awkwardly placed keyboard maneuver. Now, I could take my hand off the mouse and use both hands to do it. Or, I could move the mouse over and manually click underline.

I am annoyed every single time, because both options feel like unnecessary effort.

I am too lazy to underline in a word processor.

Similar with my phone. If I have to go more than two or three screens deep to find something in the app, forget it. I will delete the entire app before I am reduced to that. Looking at you, fitbit.

[Heather MC]

43. Wow this is an absolute great answer.

How do we resolve the issue of being electronically lazy? In the world that keeps telling us to use more electronics?

[Heather MC]

52. The link doesn't work

What was on it?
🤔

[progree]

49. I found tons of hits on Google (note I searched on "electronic lazy" including the quotes).

https://www.google.com/search?q=%22electronic+lazy%22&oq=%22electronic+lazy%22&aqs=edge..69i57j0i10i512l8.5279j0j1&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8

Apparently, Electronic Lazy cannot be Googled

Imagine it something that's not on Google.

[Heather MC]

51. Fascinating, none of that stuff was there an hour ago

It's almost like something's trying to muddy the waters.

Tomorrow I will post a new phrase that doesn't exist on Google, and then see how long it takes them to get a bunch of stuff out about it.

This was really cool wasn't it?

[progree]

53. Sorry, I find it impossible to believe that none were there an hour ago

I did a search on "electronic lazy" (with the quotes) and set a date range of 9/30/10 to 9/30/22 and there are a ton of hits.

[Heather MC]

55. Don't take my word for it look at the very 1st response to what I posted

Scroll up I'm not the one saying it.

[Heather MC]

56. Here's my proof it wasn't here at 10:30pm 🤔

https://postimg.cc/m1FKQfbw

[Heather MC]

54. Also I asked What is Electronic Lazy,

I was talking about the words "electronic lazy" what does that mean?
Googling an "electronic lazy clock" doesn't answer the question what the words mean is it to you?

Don't you have an opinion about that for yourself?

How come it has to exist on Google to make you comfortable?

It seems to me Google feels electronically lazy.

What does it mean to you?

[progree]

57. I'm out of here. I think you ar toying with us or just plain, well, strange

You're original post (which I excerpted in my post above that you replied to has:

Apparently, Electronic Lazy cannot be Googled

Imagine it something that's not on Google.

I was just addressing the false statement that it can't be Googled and the next false statement that it wasn't there an hour ago

How come it has to exist on Google to make you comfortable?

Where in the hell did you come up with that in what I've posted so far?
BYE

[Heather MC]

58. I'm just talking to you

I understand you were addressingly saying it wasn't on Google

Did you see where I posted other people were saying they couldn't Google it around 10:35 PM
And all of a sudden at 1 AM you're able to find stuff on Google when no one could at 10:30 PM

That doesn't seem strange to you?

But you think I'm strange for pointing it out, that's very interesting I love that thank you I'll be strange sure whatever.

Can you explain how it is that someone posted at 10:35, they couldn't Google it.
And then by 1 AM, you are able to find random things that were named after sir that phrase?

I mean one of the items was an "electronic lazy clock" what the heck is that? But I'm strange. Cute
