This is a really good point you make.

A simple example for me is how the ATM replaced the bank teller, but the ATM has been replaced with cards with chips in them. It’s a subtle, but huge change when magnified across society.




are chips an issue ?

having worked in various administrations, the time / energy / resources wasted due to old paper based workflow is flabbergasting

you'd think after 50 years of mainstream computing they'd have some kind of adequate infrastructure but it's really really sad (they still have paper inbox for internal mail routing errors)
