We should be paying more attention to effort per interaction.

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.

The effort would go below zero when things interact for us and we don't have to think about sending a message or even replying to them anymore. Everyone will know everything and won't care to do anything.
