Why I Never Have to Leave My House

So the other day I was playing with my iPhone and went to my bank's mobile app.  I think I was just checking to make sure it still worked or something.  That's when I discovered you can now take pictures of checks and deposit them to your account right from your phone!  I happened to have a couple of rebate checks waiting for me to get off my lazy butt and actually take to the bank, so I thought, "What the hell?"  I took a picture of the front and back of the check and followed the prompts. Are you kidding me?  This really works!

Technology is grand.

Why go to the movies when you can buy one from the comfort of your own living room?  You don't have to pay outrageous ticket fees.  You can have your own snacks instead of paying $25 for a popcorn and candy bar.  Not to mention you can lay on your couch instead of sitting those seats.  And you can talk WHENEVER you want.

Need food?  There's an app for that.  If you hate to cook like me, but don't want to get your lazy ass out to a restaurant, there's a service that will deliver food from your fave restaurant straight to your door.  Disclaimer: this may not be available in all areas-yet.  I saw a commercial for this bad-ass refrigerator and I want it so bad!  It would make me the ultimate lazy.  I could put all of my daughter's things she needs for breakfast in one door, and I wouldn't have to get up and make her breakfast!  I could order one right now and have it delivered without ever leaving home.

I don't have to leave the house to grocery shop, either.  Two stores in my area offer online shopping.  I just pick out what I want, order it, then go pick it up.  Now if only they delivered...
Or I could just go to amazon.com.  They have just about everything anyone could ever want.  And they deliver.  Need snacks for the kids' lunches?  They have them.  Need milk or chicken?  They have those, too.  Need a grommet wrench?  Actually, I did need one and they had it.  My daughter got one of those cute loft beds with the curtains that make a "tent" for her birthday.  Less than 30 days later, three of the strings that attached the front curtain had come off.  After numerous emails to Walmart, I got frustrated and came up with my own solution.  I'm going to put grommets in the top of the curtain where the strings used to be, and hang it with book rings.  That way I don't have to worry about the strings breaking again.  I know, I know.  I'm crafty.  But I haven't done it yet!  Oh, and to be fair, Walmart did offer me a $15 credit.

I still snicker when I see people going to the bank to "do their banking."  Have they never heard of direct deposit, online bill pay, or online banking for that matter?  Now I don't even have to go to the bank to cash a check someone gives me.

When will the liquor stores come up with some new technology to transport me there through my computer so I don't have to leave my house to buy booze?  Food for thought...
