Have I mentioned before that I hate forms? Okay, just checking.
While forms in themselves are tedious, repetitive, often ambiguous and overall a terrible bore, nothing can compare to the viciousness of the eForm. On a hardcopy form it is possible to add comments on the margins or write under the line. On an eForm? You are entirely at the mercy of the form designer. If they decide to set up the form such that it is completely impossible to accurately transcribe your address in the given space, then you will, in fact, be unable to accurately transcribe your address in the given space. And good luck to you if you get a drop-down box which fails to take into account any unusual circumstances which may happen to apply to you.
I welcome the day when telepathy becomes a norm. Not only will you be able to open doors by flicking your eyes at them, or pick the exact colour you're thinking of, or have conversations at the speed of a neuronal impulse. No, the key application will be in the filling of forms, using nothing more than thought.
Think about it.
