finances

There’s no denying that technology has transformed pretty much every aspect of our lives. Whether you believe that’s a good or a bad thing, the vast majority of us rely on technology for everything from everyday communication to planning a trip or even dating. One of the biggest ways technology has impacted the world is how we manage our finances. While past generations used metal coins or paper to complete transactions, today we need only hold our smartphone against a machine or click a few buttons to send money to the other side of the world in an instant. Modern finances are more convenient and quicker to manage, but this is often a double-edged sword.
