Banking


Can you get excited about banking? I guess you could if you were depositing large amounts of money in your account, which is not my case. I am excited about banking, though. I especially like mobile banking by Chase.

I have an iPhone and Chase has an application that allows me to make check deposits from the comfort of whenever I am. Take a couple of pictures of your check, click here and there, ans voila you made a deposit. No lines, no ridiculous music, no salesperson trying to sell you Chase stock.

I wonder how far are we going to go with this technology thing. My friend related my experience to that of Wallie; fat people lounging all day long just pressing buttons to have their food, drinks, laundry, and yes, banking done for them. Let's see if I'm there: fat, almost there; lounging all day long: only on weekends, clicking here and there for some of life's most annoying chores: we are there.

Technology is our friend. It is up to us to use the time we gain by simplifying many of the usual tasks we do in a productive way. We are managers of own lives.

I have to go and deposit two more checks.
