Fricative Computing.

The author reflects on frictionless computing, or the elimination of delay in computer-based communication, stating that some small amount of friction is necessary in computer science. He notes that high-frequency stock trading, conducted by algorithms and software, was cited as a stock market crash...

      ab: The author reflects on frictionless computing, or the elimination of delay in computer-based communication, stating that some small amount of friction is necessary in computer science. He notes that high-frequency stock trading, conducted by algorithms and software, was cited as a stock market crash on May 6, 2010 and suggests this demonstrates the need for friction. In addition, he argues that too many emails are sent daily, decreasing their value.
