Tarzy, I think that already happened. You can actually see the digression through infomercials.
First, we gave up on exercising. (See Shake Weight and Contour Abs infomercials.)
Then, we gave up on reaching for stuff. (See The Gopher infomercial.)
And finally, we just gave up. (See Comfort Wipe infomercial. Or don't. It is probably best you don't.)
