These sorts of things are meaningless overall though. Where I'm from nearly everything is done digitally, most people are used to paying with digital wallets, we're all on digital ID, and we hardly have paper anywhere. But everybody is still poor, miserable and struggling. I never liked the idea that having minor convenience technology is what makes for a futuristic society. Give us public transport, healthcare and jobs, even if I have to do everything on paper for the rest of my life, that's decades more advanced than what most people get these days, lol.

I agree with your idea of futuristic but when people say “living in 2050” they are referring to the advances in technology.

The fax thing is not an exception, for example, they make it hard to do things online, often requiring physical copy of documents that you used their website to fill.

I live here, and it gets frustrating how difficult some things here are which these days takes 5 minutes inmost of the countries.
