A few of my friends laugh at me because I still get a check at work and don't have direct deposit. I still write out checks to pay my bills, I just can't bring myself to pay online. I use stamps to pay those bills and still go into a bank to manage my accounts. I enjoy going to the bakery for my coffee and warm Italian bread, a great place where a small coffee is a small coffee not a grande and cost four dollars. We need to fall back and realize what is most important in life, family, morals and respect need to come first. I am twenty years older in heart and soul some say but to that I say thank you because those were the good days!

While I agree that we are in a state of emergency and sometimes "too connected" (many of us have trouble just sitting quietly and relaxing, I disagree with the aspect of paying bills online being a part of that.
For instance, I'm with an all-online bank (no branches). I'm with them because I get 1% back on everything. I got over $300 back last year. To me, that's the definition of common sense. Why would I write a check or go in person when a brick and mortar bank will give me pennies for the year in interest when banking online gives me hundreds?
Anyway, good thoughts regardless. I do think we're reaching a danger point with the breakdown in interpersonal communications though.
