Online Banking

I personally think that online banking has been one of the best inventions and innovations that has been around in a while.  Instead of waiting for the bills in the mail and then sending your checks back to the bank for them to only get lost in the mail and returned, all you have to do is manage your account from home and then paying is just one click away.  My mother always used to say that the old fashioned way of banking used to be the biggest pain because you really have no idea of your account balance unless you visited the actual bank.  I think that this is a result of how far the internet and our society has actually come.  People now take online banking and these types of stupid little online gimmicks for granted, but in actuality they really are something that are handy and help people out more than you think.  It is really a time saver and also you can now have more time to try and make money that can go into the account!  This makes me think of how far the internet will actually come and what will be next.  It also makes me wonder if i would want my money and my personal information to be out on the internet for everyone.  Guess it is something that we will have to risk in order to have our lives made easier by this specific tool provided from the internet.
