<p>w3w solves the problem of you not having a (compact) answer to "what´s your address?" if you want to have something delivered. The fact that you only have to remember three words is for humans. But indeed the delivery person needs a computer.</p>

<br /> I dont think what3words solves the issue of structured Addressing.<br /><br /> Addresses are typically strict hierarchical and offer some serious<br /> concepts you cant build with what3words.<br /><br /> "Fuzzy" or "Blurry" addresses - You cant express something like<br /> "between housenumber 5 and 10" or - "Across number 10 High Street".<br /><br /> Its exact in every aspect. <br /><br /> Or a concept of "Naming all streets after birds in the north<br /> of the village and all streets after mammals on the south"<br /> every child can tell you the direction to walk and from the<br /> Name you get a rough guess where to head to.<br /><br /> When you tell them where is "allgemein.ausfüllen.fahrpreis" everybody<br /> will look a little confused.<br /><br /> What3Words is not made for humans, its made for Machines.<br /><br /> Flo</div>
