Technology Again

It is truly amazing how technology can work for us and not against us.  Enter now the attachment for smart phones to be able to accept credit, debit cards for transactions.  It is truly amazing.  Now a person can go into business, purchase one of these credit card attachments and start collecting payment in a matter of minutes.  Of course, one still has to pay the fee for each transaction.

You can take your business anywhere and not even have to have a brick and mortar place.  Just think, out of the back of your car, at your yard sale, at the flea market, sidewalk vendors, who knows where this can go.

After my shift the other morning I was approached by a person in the parking lot.  He was asking if I could spare enough money for a couple gallons of gas.  Of course a couple a gallons of gas would run about $7.00. When I declined he then said, "What no ATM's close by".  Now if he had this, this would take panhandling to a whole new level!!
