Life in the Digital Age

1. Getting lost is a thing of the past. The use of a GPS device whether mobile or portable ensures that we can get to any destination quickly by avoiding traffic jams. For those Sunday drivers, GPS can get you from point A to point B via a more scenic route, if requested. Hopefully, stopping for directions is a thing of the past; for those of you who are married that means no more arguments with your spouses. Not only did GPS revitalize the digital age it also has saved many marriages from divorce.



2. As if online banking is not enough, now you can avoid going to the bank all together. You can know make check deposits via upload photos using your iMobile phone and the Chase application. I wanted to post the new commercial that has been airing on television but currently not available.

Chase iPhone App Lets Users Deposit Checks on the Go

Chase iPhone Check DepositMobile banking apps are a dime a dozen, but a recent update to JPMorgan Chase's free iPhone app really makes it stand out from the rest. Now, customers can deposit checks to their account via iPhone snapshots. It's as simple as logging into your account on the Chase Mobile iPhone app and snapping a photo of both the front and back of the check. Soon after, it will land in your account without the need to fill out deposit slips or deal with a surly teller. USAA has been offering the same functionality for over a year, but Chase is the first mainstream national bank to embrace the picture possibilities. Hopefully, Chase will bring the feature to other platforms, like BlackBerry and Android, soon. [From: Chase, via: Engadget]
