Well, the thing is, it could make it easier but not whilst under those who want to control with it.
Technology is not inherently bad or good, it is a tool and like all tools, those who design and make it can do so for more control or less control.
If technology was truly in the hands of the people, everything was open source, changeable and collaborative then it would make our lives better.
Currently it can't and won't in all ways.
Yes. Its faster and easier now to make a payment if you give the company rights to bill you whatever they want whenever and directly pull it from your account but boy are they resistant to sending a bill and then having it billed and you pushing the payment from your banks billpay and such.
