I think this is an interesting train of thought, although I doubt effort will ever go down to zero. After all, we derive pleasure out of many things we do which take effort. I'll often travel to meet a friend for dinner, even though I could've eaten at home, and talked to her over voip and webcam. I think more so, we're minimizing effort per quality of interaction - or maximizing quality of interaction per effort.
