šµ Funny Friday: The Gift
Ah, the perfect gift: undesignated cash, ready for whatever the recipient wants.
I enjoyed watching this play out in my own house this year, with a card opened, read, and then an alert on a phone that a payment had been received. I remember being a kid, tearing into the JCPenney gift catalog, and finding all of the things that Iād want under the tree. Now we have the ultimate paradox of choice, the entire Internet of e-commerce possibilities laid out before us. And with electronic payments, instant receipt of funds to take action.
A little too late for this gifting season, I listened to this episode of the Hidden Brain podcast: The Secret to Gift Giving. Listen to the segment starting at 35 minutes for a unique twist on giving.
