However, I have set things up so I can pay them on the computer if I want to. Comes in handy when the paychecks show up just before the bill is due.
Companies try to sweet-talk me into "autopayment," letting them pick it out of my bank account on their own when the bill comes out. Screw that.
I'm nowhere near as "connected" as I could be. My phone is a stupid flipphone, with the singular virtue of being waterproof and drop proof. When a smartphone comes out that can do this, I'll think about it. I've squinched two Kindles so far just carrying it around. God knows what I'd do to an IPhone.
I've noticed those little things that look like postage-stamp sized Rorschach blots.
They're in magazines, on bus stops, you name it. You show them to your smartphone and information appears. They're called QR Codes. I had to research that just now to find a picture of one. I'd never heard the name before, and I've never used one.
The key is that I can still choose how deep I want to wade in, and I can wade back out if I want.
I did buy both of my kids a MacBook Pro for college. Like VR says, they're needed for survival, and both kids have career-related software they run on them.
