It would be an obvious understatement to say that technology plays a key role in just about everything we do, as well as how we do it.
Take just one small example—banking. It used to be that we would have to physically go to the bank to deposit paychecks or withdraw money. Then came automated teller machines, or ATMS, with thousands of locations to make transactions, providing us with much more convenience for our banking needs. Now, we have apps on our phones that allow us to take a picture of our paychecks for deposit, move our money and assets around, and debit cards for making purchases on the Internet. We literally do not have to leave our homes to accomplish our banking needs.
