We live in a time when our technical infrastructure is being constantly enhanced. I am very puzzled by the resistance by some to these improvements.
Although to be honest, updates do affect me significantly given my complex home network and associated self-maintained infrastructure and often much work is required to integrate the changes.
Logical Approach
On the whole though, muttering and complaining aside, once I have adapted and received the benefits, you would be hard pressed to convince me to go back.
Some though refuse to accept the improved processes, ie., more productive or secure and resist adoption as long as they can. Even when logic dictates the change has more pro’s than ons.
Over 80 countries around the world have a Real Time Payments (RTP) system. Not Canada yet, although we have been working on it for over 5 years. I suspect the big banks in Canada don’t want to let go of the current ‘float” based system.
Online Billing
RTP will greatly advance the productivity gains associated with our current on-line billing systems which have been eagerly adopted by most of the population.
Although some of the older generation still illogically resist these enhancements it is mainly an emotional response. Personally I look forward to the continued enhancements, they do contribute to making my life easier once I overcome my natural initial resistance to change.
