cool story bro
gensym, I think you're being unecessarily aggressive in your posting. Please refrain from it.
I like how you're using the 'wheel' analogy but you're acting the opposite of it. Hoeloe's app is made to make the things easier and more convenient while your suggestion clearly isn't convenient. They do the same job, I agree, but the wheel's purpose is to make things easier, isn't it?
Making conveninent and easy-to-use things isn't dumbing down the society. The entire human race has been working hard for all this time to come up with easy and productive ways to do things. Without this thinking, we wouldn't have computers, cars, electricity or even the wooden matches. Did they make the society dumber? I don't think so. If you think otherwise then you should blame the humans themselves, not the helpful objects.
I just can't see why would you work your butt off to do something that could be done with fewer inputs. Why having to cross a river to grab apples on the other side if you have apples right next to you?
