Hot New Technologies

written Thursday, March 29, 2007


Tonight after dinner my host mother pulled out an ATM card and asked me, Do you know what this is? I thought she was referring to the bank the card was issued from at first, but then I realized she meant the card in general. She explained to me how her sister in New York puts money in the bank there, and then calls my host mom, who then takes it out of the ATM machine here. It's the hottest new technology here.
