I agree. I was referring more to the general idea of making things easy that used to be difficult and/or time consuming.

Do you think drive-in windows made people more or less careful about what they eat? LOL.

You can’t resist the tide of history. If the technology exists to increase convenience, cut through red tape, etc, and you choose not to make it available to the public, the next guy will, and then he’ll just be the one to reap the profits instead of you.

The government can try to stop these innovations, but then people will just circumvent the government (see unstoppable pirate download sites for an example of that).
