I think there's a generational thing going on here.

I'd love nothing more than to be able to buy stocks, real-estate etc through an online interface with 0 human interaction. Everyone I know above 40 seems to be the exact opposite.

Sometimes progress is made one funeral at a time.



Similar. Our generation is more used to getting things done on our phones or computers, including human interaction.

I for one hate to run errand where i need to talk to someone. It is very inefficient, and socially awkward.


I'm not sure it's here to stay though. The older I get, the more comfortable I and those around me seems to become at interacting with other human beings.


Nevertheless, an interface for "politics with 0 human interaction" is an open research problem.


define progress.
