In many countries, paying for things using mobile phone apps is becoming increasingly common. Does this development have more advantages or disadvantages?

Presently, the improvement of devices to make many daily activities more practical has risen into prominence.

Therefore

, the use of gadgets

such

as smartphones to pay bills have been constantly increasing and is accompanied with some questions about whether

this

is a good choice or not. From my point of view, using cellphones with that purpose is highly advantageous, even though it has some drawbacks.

Firstly

, with the ability to pay a bill with some minutes with a smartphone reduces considerably the chances of an individual forget to pay his buyings. A few decades ago, the most common way to pay something was going to the

bank

and getting on a line to be attended by a

bank

's employee.

However

, the majority of

people

nowadays have a rushed routine and for that reason, struggled to be able to go on a

bank

and sometimes even forget about it. Thereby, being able to complete

this

task without the need of leaving earlier a job is an improvement to their lives.

Secondly

,

people

who live far from the banks can save time and money in public transportations if they are able to pay it online.While a person is taking an hour on a bus to get into the

bank

, he could be working and getting paid for it.

Therefore

,

this

is jeopardized time which nowadays can be avoided for the practicality of solving

this

matter online.

In contrast

to the positive points of

this

development, some

people

may argue that there is a price to pay for

this

increased use of technology which is the chances of getting hacked. The number of

bank

accounts being invaded and data

that is

being stolen is growing in the same intensity as the number of

people

using

this

technology.

Moreover

, it is

also

claimed that with the overuse of mobiles, it is likely that unemployment rates will grow up. To sum up, I believe

that is

crucial to be aware of the risks of using

this

type of device to pay bills and be as careful as possible.

However

, from my point of view, the benefits that

this

ability brought to contemporary society outweigh the drawbacks.
