“Slow and steady wins the race,” is a wise saying, but doesn’t exist in this era anymore, people in this era believe “...slow and steady wins the race, till truth and talent claim their place” (B. J. Novak). “User” company launched a similar product ““Coin”,” a year before “PlastcCard” was launched. “Coin” was the first electronic card that could store all your cards; however “Coin” didn’t have enough technology, it failed to satisfy costumer’s expectations on time, and storage issues. “PlastcCard” Company has launched a prototype of “PlastcCard” and started a Pre-order of the product. Although, “PlastcCard” is $55 more expensive than “Coin”, consumers still prefer “PlastcCard” to “Coin”. “PlastcCard” released its prototype after “Coin” did, but was successful because it came up with better features like touchscreen where “Coin” just had a display and click button, E-ink

After having read this poem several times, I can tell that it mainly describes Eve's sin of "wanting knowledge" through several experiments and by revealing against the imposed order. I particularly like the last stanza since it summarizes the whole poem portraying Eve as "the first scientist" to discover knowledge, from whom we were all born.

More parents than ever are sending their teenagers to shopping malls and movie theaters with a piece of plastic instead of pocket change. "Marketing to students is definitely working, as many of them end up signing for as many as five to six credit cards," say Don Blandin, president of the American Savings Education Counsel (ASEC).

Credit cards had a humble beginning dating back to the 1900 's. The cards were first used by banks and department stores, so that customers could charge their purchases at these locations. The drawback, however, was that the customers could only use the cards at the issuing location and they could not be used elsewhere. Credit cards were also implemented by oil companies for their employees. In his article published for the Philadelphia Federal Reserve, Stan Sienkiewicz states that “such cards were accepted only at the business that issued the card and in limited locations. While modern credit cards are mainly used for convenience, these predecessor cards were developed as a means of creating customer loyalty and improving customer service.”

Others liken the payment marketplace to a battle among the four platform titans Apple, Google, Facebook, and Amazon. Each of these titans have their own versions of a future payment system that challenges the other players. And let’s not forget PayPal, the reigning power in alternative online payment, or the credit card companies who process over 70% of online payments, or the

In the year 1949, a businessman by the name of Frank McNamara, conceived the world’s first idea for a credit card. The idea was intended for when McNamara went out for an important diner. While he was out, he realized he had left his wallet at home and was unable to pay for the dinner so he needed something that could allow him to come back and pay for the balance later. Overtime McNamara’s credit card idea has evolved into an electronic way of making payments, we now use credit cards to purchase groceries at the local market and make payments online since handing cash through the Internet is virtually impossible.
