DO WE STILL WANT A CASHLESS SOCIETY?

Years ago, I recall there was a time when it was the goal of the world to go cashless and paperless. That was when  technology was making its way into our lives at a rapid rate. Cashless society and paperless society was the slogan and we were extremely excited about it. 

Sadly enough, our first disappointment came when we realized we had more credenzas full of paper and files in offices than we did before the tech age of computers. We are even more disappointed because we seem to have lost control when it comes to keeping our money and personal information safe. The public is spending more money and precious time trying to protect their money and personal information more than ever these days. The  huge question is do we like where we are right now? 

The article link below in its own way answers the question. ATMs are one of the great perks technology provided  in efforts to make our lives easier. But according to the article, it has become more of a pain in the neck than we like. Not only does it make it convenient for us the consumers to gain access to our monies anytime and anywhere, it has also given convenient access to thieves, robbers, cheats, and criminals as well. Not a great feeling is it?

Let me know what you think.
