Do you like filling out handfuls of forms to get anything done?

Like enrolling in a school or medical forms to go to a new doctor or dentist? I hate it, they want so damned much information, it was so much simpler 10+ years ago to do the same things. And when you have to do it online it makes it a lot harder...have to make an account, create a username, a password....and then it signs you out, you have to call to get a password to log back in....and to sign up for payments you have to create yet another account, username, & passwords...what a hassle.

That's one thing I don't understand, at all. We have access to such great technology, can talk to people in the other side of the world in milliseconds, doo all sorts of things never thought possible even 5 years ago...

Yet, we can't figure out how to have an information sharing network for basic services so we don't have to fill damn forms for each different basic service every damn time >.<

@SW-User It wears me out. Unlike paper forms, if you don’t have information at hand and have to go somewhere to retrieve it, you have to sign out and go get the information, and then sign back in and a lot of times it wouldn’t take my information. I’d have to call and get a new username and password....exhausting. And if you want to make payments you don’t know until you’ve clicked an option that there is a fee to use credit cards but no fee to pay from the checking account, and you have to go back and fill in more information...

@cherokeepatti Yet, facebook full of posts about how some cousin's bowel movement was off, photos of food on instagram, gossip on twitter and so no seem to all work and share data just fine, like clockwork or a well greased machine.

Actually important services...nope, too costly/not worth it.

It really shows where our interests, as a society, really lie x.x

@SW-User I don’t mind filling out some forms but too much info plus the hassle of trying to get it right and having a deadline to do it.
