Favorite scenes, short clips, even entire movies can be stored right inside the computer with the right storage devices. How about sending them to your friend, with high-speed Internet access, even that is possible. The standard answer to that is you can put your checkbook on the computer, but that is not all - credit cards, savings accounts, stocks purchases, IRAs, and any other type of money account. I have trouble writing in the checks in my registry much less retyping them into the computer. The computer to the rescue.
Many banks now offer complete computer banking as an option to their customers.
That is, the bank will provide your computer with all the checks cleared, update any deposits or withdraws made from any of your accounts. Calling the bank to check on the amount in one of your accounts is no different that the computer calling the bank to find out how much you have in your account. Many banks offer secure lines directly into the bank instead of going out to the public Internet. The real benefit of this information is the financial picture provided by the computer. The computer can display with clarity all of a person's spending habits and help identify ways to increase one's financial worth.
