Technology would be deployed faster were it not for public slowness in adopting it.

ATM's still involve cash. Was your call that we wouldn't go into the bank physically to get it or that we would become cashless?

I've been mostly but not totally cashless for a couple years. Much easier to charge everything and pay the bill online or via automatic payments. If I write 5 checks in a month, it's a big month. Were it not for my son's extracurricular activities and fund raising activities I might even have a month that didn't have any checks go through the bank or have much need for cash at all. Still can't charge one banana at the fruit stand though.

My mom otoh wouldn't go near an ATM and if I heard that she set up an automatic payment or paid for something on line, I'd probably fall off my chair.

My local realtor said that from what she's seen, even in houses that have full networking capabilities, most people don't take advantage of it. Those who paid for it, probably are better adopters than those who got it as a standard with the house. My feeling is that some day the majority of people will use it, the same as ATM's. It will be second nature. I don't know how long that takes. I'm surprised it's not more widely used now.
