I ordered food online today. It got me thinking about how all monetary transactions seem to be heading towards digitalization. I can't remember the last bill I paid with cash. The last time I bought at a store with cash. (Though to be fair, I do prefer to do my shopping online...) A few of the taco trucks around Los Angles ONLY take cash, but most are now outfitted with credit card machines or, at the very least, the iPhone attachments.

There are some definite benefits to digital money. There's a record of everything, for one. But keeping a record... means someone can break in and take a peak at that record. You'd be surprised how fast some of these people can get your bank account info or social security number.
