The Exigent Duality

Why is it that everything is being made less functional?

I just logged into one of my credit accounts, and since my last login the previously easy-to-use website has been replaced with one of those "mobile friendly" abominations, with size 72 fonts, giant whitespace blocks, and massive divs that run all the way across the page. Sure, it looks clean, but it lost three quarters of the functionality it used to have!

Who the hell manages their finances with their phone anyway? Trying to do anything with those ridiculous i-crap clone slate devices is akin to trying to order a pizza with Kinect-- much less issue credit card payments or balance my checking account!

I can't wait until this very bizarre societal "form over substance" period is over. It's all-inclusive, from the way people act, dress, who they choose as role models, the general and massive rise in narcissism, and-- yes-- their choices in consumer electronics.

It's like a pendulum-- I'm sure it will swing back to a point where engineers and not marketers are ruling the roost once again.
