I just deposited a check into my bank account by photographing the check with my iPhone and zapping it through cyberspace. I realize this is a yawn to the under 35 crowd. Soon, there won’t be any paper checks as the entire transaction will occur electronically. As a member of the over 35 crowd (plus 20 years), I am wowed by this process. I remember being astonished when my kids told me how they performed this same process a year ago. It’s the same amazement I experienced when I first read about a new piece of technology called a ‘fax machine’. "You mean you slide a document into a machine and an exact copy emerges elsewhere?" In my younger days, depositing a check into a bank account meant waiting in line with my bank book in hand waiting for a living, breathing human to count and record my allowance and snow shoveling earnings. The bank that my kids use today has no physical offices. It is entirely in the Twilight Zone. Medicine will not be left behind her
