Simple things

I found this cartoon that clearly shows some of the problems out there.

It made me ask the following question: Why hasn’t someone created a single place on my computer that hold “form data”. The app would keep my name, address, phone numbers, etc that I want to be public and that will auto-load to any web site and form that I want to fill out. Seems simple to me since most web based forms use the same language. I suspect that the real problem is not with the technology, it’s a lack of imagination.

I believe that the simpler the idea the harder it is to sell because:

The business schools reward difficult complex behavior more than simple behavior, but simple behavior is more effective.
