Different people use different pieces of technology to accomplish the same goal - whether that be shopping, talking to their friends, or paying bills. They may all be achieving the same outcoming, but they’re taking different avenues to get there. Giving is no exception. Some want to give from their phone, some from their ipad, some from their computer...read more |
