Are Smart People Lazy?

Lazy is defined as, resistant to work or exertion, disposed to idleness, slow-moving and sluggish. But is that all that being lazy means? Are lazy people only "Bad" , indifferent or just plain lazy? Well I like to add another interesting meaning to the word lazy, a positive spin on being lazy and being defined as lazy.
As a trained engineer I like to think and believe that engineers are lazy and that laziness drives inventions and creations. Why else would things like remote controls, voice activated features, motion sensors, lights that can be turned off by clapping, Internet, email, cruise control in cars, tivo and dvrs just to name a few things that can help people be lazy and live more comfortable have been invented.
So to me being lazy and smart in the right combination go hand in hand, because the smart person will be creative and find ways to make repetitive processes easier and more simple. Smart people will minimize the effort required for one task and make life as easier.
Can you imagine if every time you had to change the channel on the television, or adjust the volume, having to physically get up and go to tv to make the change? Or every time you wanted to communicate with your friend on the other side of the world, getting up from your comfy chair, getting pen and paper, writing, going to post office mailing a letter? Nope today we have the remote control and instant messaging and telephone to accomplish those task. Are those situations being lazy or just being smart and creative?
Let me give you a more classical real life example, Mr Bill Gates, of Microsoft fame and fortune. Why do you think it is a billionaire today? He wanted the easy "lazy" approach, point and click because he did not want be typing all the computer commands to operate the computer. and I am sure everyone knows of and about his fame and fortune.
Another example is road construction, imagine having to dig all those rocks by hand, having to move all the material, rocks, dirt, by hand, breaking up the hard substances. Do you think it was created because the persons were lazy? Because the people were smart? Because there were both smart and lazy which lead them to think that it would be more efficient and easier to create something to do it for them so that they could use their time and efforts doing other things?
I am not trying to say that the classic definition of lazy is incorrect, because I know a lot of people in this world who are just plain lazy and indifferent along with their laziness. People who don't want to get up and do anything at all for themselves. What I am saying though is that they is another definition of lazy people who will extend energy once or a couple of times, so that they would not have to go through the same process over and over again and can be lazy.
Hence why we have so much automation in today's world. Lazy features as I like to call them are all around you, from auto completion of email address, web address, saving passwords and login information, T9 word typing on cell phones, and bookmarks. I am confident that every person online utilizes a feature that makes life easier for them and cut down on the time spent on doing a task so that they can utilize their time better on another task or doing nothing. So do I have some support to add another definition to the word lazy?
But since I have spent so much energy writing this, and being the lazy person that I am, I need to invest a good speech to text software that will convert my speech into words that will really enhance the amount of work that I can produce. I can talk faster than I can type, but then again I wonder if the software had editing capabilities and can proofread and make corrections, probably not. Well here is an another opportunity for invention and creativity. Remember when the software gets created if it is not created already, "i am too lazy to and check now" that you heard it first from a self describe lazy engineer. So my new definition of lazy persons is smart person who makes life easy, by being creative and finding ways to eliminate repetitive steps and persons who make things more efficient through eliminations of steps in a process.
