The first ATM

Did you that on this day in history, in 1985 a joint deep-sea expedition by the United States and France located the Titanic wreckage, in 1666, a great fire that started in a bakery shop engulfed London and destroyed St. Paul's Cathedral, and in 1969, Chemical Bank in Rockville Center, New York, used the very first ATM machine.

This is probably going to sound a little crazy, but I couldn't imagine people not having credit/debit cards to do their business. I can guarantee that I never have cash on me. Plastic takes up less space and in my opinion, it is faster to swipe my card then count out bills to hand to a cashier.

When I think about how far technology has come in a few short years, and how dependent we as a society are on said technology, I become a little frightened. The idea of going without the Internet would destroy my brother if he couldn't be online battling evildoers and saving the world. If my sister didn't have her cell phone attached to her head at all times, I think she would have a break down, and as much as I love my sister I don't think she could live without it.

What if something would happen and humanity is ever put into a position that survival of the fittest won't just be a thought, but a reality. Could we really do it? Could humans really survive without our basic comforts? Hopefully we will never know.
