Banking in the future 1) banking by the year 2015 will be very different from the way it is today. some people have said that by then we will live in the ‘cashless society’ – that we won’t use coins or notes and that we won’t even write cheques. some banks already have a system which may show how we will all do our shopping in the future. the bank has a computer link with one of the city’s large shops and a customer at the shop can pay with a small computer card; money is transferred automatically from the customer’s to the shop’s account. the whole thing takes only a few seconds and no money at all changes hands. 2) many banks now offer their customers a computer service which allows them to get a statement, pay bills and transfer money from their own home. as people use computers more and more at home, it is certain that they will go to the bank much less often. but there may be problems too. with so much information on computers, there is the danger that our private financial details will fall into the wrong hands. № 6. выпишите из первого абзаца глагол в пассивной форме. определите его время. № 7. прочитайте второй абзац, ответьте на вопрос: what computer service do many banks offer their customers?
