The C Factor

Recently I've noticed that I am becoming more and more reluctant to do anything (such as the blogs; even now it feels like I'm taking a big leap- a few big leaps now). Every task that I want to accomplish always seem to be at a distance. This inconvenience just makes everything appear so much more difficult. So the main questions I am trying to get at are:

- How much of a role does the convenience factor play in our lives?
- How much are we really sacrificing for convenience? And which of those, if any, sacrifices are worth it?

It has also come to my attention that big corporations (e.g. Procter&Gamble, WalMart, Dannon, etc.) are taking advantage of Americans' predilection for convenience. In recent commercials, all three company advertised their products by saying something similar to, "If you do not like our product, then you can return it and get your money back." These products are somewhat inexpensive and very minor things like liquid soaps, steaks and yogurt. So of course, not many people are going to return it if the money they're getting back is two figures or below. I might be making a huge assumption, but I know that if it were me, I wouldn't bother making the effort and just let it go. It just seems like it is far too inconvenient.
