...technology are occurring around us all the time, constantly happening for those who are in the know. I don't mind with most of that, being blissfully unaware, with occasional blips of frustration due to lack of skills, plus my tech. support having long ago left home. Leaving me to depend on phone calls when they say: 'I can't help you from this distance'.
When witnessing an amazing event on Monday, I discovered one of the remarkable advantages of living in the age of technology (along with cell phones, laser surgery, computers in automobiles, etc.) If only I were adaptable enough and had the ability to learn the necessary steps to take advantage of such nifty developments! It would be a convenience: the ability to TCB personal finance all hours of the day and night, regardless of federal holidays, weekends, etc. When banks will close for the least, poorest, harebrained excuse, along with all government offices.
The bank was closed on Columbus Day, which is a pretty poor reason in the opinion of all the indigenous peoples of North America,who were uprooted, enslaved, mass-murdered from imported diseases. A topic for another day. Even though I was not there, I still have to shoulder some of the WASP-y blame.
Back to banking: for the well-versed with tech., a federal holiday was no obstacle to accessing the birthday funds prior to a shopping spree at Target. You can go to the ATM, put your paper in the slot, have it read, and deposited to your account. Without interacting with a human. No drive through, or going in the actual building to get the cash. Amazing.
