As I was laying in bed last night, I realized that the deadline for annual benefit enrollment was midnight, so I quickly stepped through the prompts so as not to lose ancillary benefits for the upcoming year. When I got to the life insurance benefit, I was surprised to see that my beneficiary was not listed, and I quickly entered the name and SSN. I then tapped the date field expecting to type a six (or eight) digit date. Instead, I found myself in a scrolling interface showing every day of the current month. Seeing that there was no way to bounce from year to year, I realized that I was faced with a test of endurance (and devotion to my wife)… swiping down, down, down, down… watching every day on my wife’s life flying by… muttering to myself, “Why do you have to be so old?” Halfway to the finish line, I started a screen recording on my phone. 2 1/2 minutes later, I arrived at 1981, asking myself, “How could some programmer have thought that five minutes of scrolling was a better solution than requiring a user to type six numbers on their keyboard?” Maybe there was too much room for error with that unvalidated approach🤓. Five minutes felt like an eternity. As the minutes passed, I felt every positive feeling I that I had about this otherwise good app melting away. Lucky for my wife, I stuck it out. Others, may not have been so fortunate.
