Your Internet Form Sucks

Filling out a bank account, shipping address, petition to get some senator to listen to you, whatever, and they've got the zipcode for you to fill out and it's mandatory.

Then you have to enter your state.

Why?

It's the digital age, just check your database of zipcodes and figure out what state I'm in. It's not a cellphone number, it'll be right. You can do it computer!

Why has this not happened yet? Why am I still punching in my zipcode and then having to enter a less specific version of that in a dropdown menu right after?
