Spare Change

It's trite, but true: the only constant is change.

Or lack thereof.

Take parking meters, for instance. As NPR reported yesterday, drivers in Washington, D.C. will soon be able to pay for their parking without having to hunt for quarters or break a dollar. The district's pilot program, which allows customers to pay for their parking meters with their cell phones, will be rolled out city-wide by October. The reasoning: most people have their cell phones with them, but not a roll of quarters.

It certainly makes sense. A lot of cities have already rolled out such programs; some even allow parking to be paid with their credit card. It looks like Cool Hand Luke will have to find something else to do.

As the world changes from the analog to the digital, the "paperless economy" will become more and more prevalent.

DotLoop, of course, understands this; indeed, we are on the leading-edge of creating seamless, efficient, and paperless real estate transactions.

Change is inevitable.

Change is good.

Even if it isn't needed to park.
