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

#countries #phone #apps #development
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.
