As my research continued I came across a couple different people that had interesting information on my subject but one person that really stood out was a women named Dawn Bruner. She published an article called the Presidents Letter- Technology: Good vs Bad, this article talked about some of the technology advancements that have occurred over the past ten years and how they affected the society. She talks about online banking and how its more efficient for the bankers and they can tell if a check bounces sooner and deposits checks faster, the bad thing is that people wit online accounts have a higher risk for fraud and identity theft(Bruner). As Dawn goes on about How Internet affects us and even e-mail but what really helped me is how she explained that she wouldn't trade a computer for a typewriter(Bruner). So in this article Dawn explains her love for technology and she would not trade it for anything.

The question that you look to find is very interesting to me. Technology has been known to better the world but i also understand the way it is sort of dumbming people down. Soon it seems like chidren would not understand math with out the assistance of a calcuator. i guess when it comes to your question you would come across many pros and cons. Intrested in which side you choose at the end of your search.

Thats a pretty random topic to look at, online banking, but it is pretty interesting because i would never think of that to be more dangerous as to fraud and I.D theft. That would be cool if you could find a way to fix this, or at least find out more on the subject so that other people could use that information to fix the problem
