In response to Tyler’s post about Mobil Payment

This is an interesting post and almost reminds me of the movie Surrogate. In a world where humans do not interact they just use surrogate robots to do everything for them. But I don't think we are anywhere close to that state yet but we certainly have been on the decline with human interaction. The main reason, I believe, is that human-to-human contact from an economic sense is very inefficient. It take a lot longer to deal with a low skilled worker, who is most likely unhappy with their job, than to click a single button on your phone to order and pay for your food. Its brilliant from a business sense because you have increased efficiency at a much lower cost. Does anyone think we have crossed the line of relying too much on technology? It would be interesting to see how different our lives would be without our common pieces of technology, even for one day.
