While the algorithm is indeed simple, it is not the kind of thing an average person would remember or have time for. Therefore, it makes us just as dependent on technology as before. After all, if you want to find out where a given address is, you google it (although every once in a while the results are inaccurate or mixed up with a similar address). So Xaddress does solve a problem. Not the biggest leap forward, but a solid step nonetheless. I'm interested to see what applications can come out of this (that couldn't be done before).
