You got it backwards man.

The laziness is a result of a multi-fold dumbing down plan. The laziness was engineered ON PURPOSE. How to make couch potatoes 101 and create communism in the process.
Read Charlotte Iserbyt's The Deliberate Dumbing Down Of America. She was the Senior Policy Advisor in the Office of Educational Research and Improvement (OERI), U.S. Department of Education during the first term of U.S. President Regan. Her father and grandfather were both Yale graduates and members of Skull and Bones which featured all three Bushs' and now your 2013 fave for Sec of State, John "ketchup boy" Kerry.. I think Iserbyt may be in a little better position than you or I to say what is zietgeist and conspiracy and what isnt.
You have to get a bird's eye view if you really want to know what's going on. Otherwise you'll think that the faucet handle alone is totally responsible for all the water that gushes out. :-)

One thing I have learned in my nearly 60 years on this planet is that people change... Or more precisely, their levels of expectations change.., primarily because they are lazy.

They watch "reality tv" because they do not want to have to think about and analyze stories...
They buy from Amazon because they are too lazy to get in the car and go to the mall.
They buy an SK1 or VK09 because they are too lazy to pack a heavier multi-part keyboard for a gig.

It's not the Zeitgeist, and its not government controlled social manipulation, its weak minds...
