Welcome to the future. We’ve got automated data syncing, smart cars, and artificial intelligence doing our bidding. We’ve turned the internet into a hub of commerce, digital services, and information access, made working from home a reality, and even created a pastry identification A.I. that has learned to combat cancer. 

With all these advances, it always seems a shame when we encounter something that hasn’t really hit its fully automated, modernized, or totally ground-up revolutionized stride. When you have a bad service experience, or can’t get through to your insurance company, or have to walk down the street instead of levitating on your personal hoverboard, you may think to yourself: “This could be better.”
