DJ: Hello, listeners. This is Lex Benedict on WNOW. I hope you're enjoying
yourselves this evening. We have some guests with us tonight that all
you college students out there should be interested in. They are the
members of a hot new rock band called "The Institute of Music," and
they are all graduates of State University. Their first concert was held
last week at the university's science auditorium, where they were a
great hit with the students. They say that attendance at the concert
was higher than at most lectures. Now, let's hear the musicians
introduce themselves.
Professor: OK. I'll start...I'm Professor Barry Jameson, and I'm the lead singer of
the band.
DJ: It's very unusual to find a geography professor who is also in a rock
band. Can you tell us when you started being interested in music?
Professor: Well, I was given a guitar by my wife when I was accepted as a
professor here at State University. I've been playing ever since.
DJ: OK. Let's take a break while we listen to your new song, "Examination
Blues"...and here it is...

Dear Customer Service Representative,
I just opened a DBHI Primary Checking Account online, with a deposit of $600, and
would like to clarify a couple of things.
First of all, does Primary Checking have a monthly maintenance fee? Secondly, I saw
online that Primary Checking customers can receive a free debit card. Is this true?
I'd also like to know what measures DBHI Capital takes to ensure that card
users' information remains secure.
Thanks, and I look forward to hearing from you.
Sincerely,
Shannon Blake
Dear Shannon Blake,

Thank you for inquiring about our Primary Checking Account. We'd be happy to answer
your questions.
Regarding a monthly maintenance fee, Primary Checking has no fee, as long as you
meet one of the following requirements each month: 1. You have a
minimum balance of $500 in your account. 2. You make a deposit of at least $250 into
your account. If you do not meet one of these two requirements, there will be a $12
maintenance fee for the month.
Regarding the security of the Primary Checking debit card, you can relax knowing that
all DBHI Capital credit and debit cards use advanced chip technology. Our
chips encrypt all personal data, offering customers the highest degree of privacy
protection.
If you have further questions, please e-mail again or contact our Customer Service
Center at 1-800-555-6555.
Best regards,
The DBHI Capital Bank Customer Service Team

Narrator
: Listen to part of a talk on banking trends.
Lecturer Today's lecture is about trends in banking. I'm going to talk about three major trends: mobile
: banking, improved security, and social media.
The first trend is mobile banking - more and more people are using their smartphones to do
their banking. With mobile banking, you're able to do your banking from anywhere in the
world. There's even an app to deposit checks. All you have to do is sign into your account,
take a picture of the check with the camera on your device, and submit the image for deposit.
Other apps let you make mobile payments at stores. You save your credit or debit card
information on your mobile device. To pay, you just hold your phone over a special reader at
the checkout counter.
Another trend we're seeing is more secure payment systems. Newer identification methods
use biometrics. When you use biometrics, your physical traits, such as your face, eyes, and
fingerprints, are scanned into a computer. The information is then saved in a database. The
next time you go to your bank, you're scanned again. If your scan matches, you can access
your account! Biometrics makes life much harder for hackers and people who want to steal
your identity.
The third trend I'd like to talk about is the use of social media. Banks today are interacting
more and more with their customers on social media sites. Customers use their bank's social
media site to post questions or complaints. Banks are also using social media to find out more
about their customers' interests and banking needs.
Another combination of banking and social media is 'peer-to-peer,' or 'p2p,' money
transfers. These are apps that connect to social media sites, so you're able to send money
directly to your friends.
To review, the three banking trends we discussed today are: mobile banking, advanced
security methods, and use of social media. Keep an eye out for these trends and watch how
they shape the future of banking.

Narrator
: Listen to part of a podcast on new trends in technology.
Hannah: The Internet of Things. This is podcast #21 of More to Know. I'm
Hannah Keaton. All you techies out there may have heard of 'The
Internet of Things.' What is the Internet of Things? Technology
forecaster, Jules Wright, is here with us today to answer that
question. Welcome, Jules.
Jules: Thanks, Hannah. Pleasure to be here.
Hannah: Jules, tell us about the Internet of Things.
Jules: Well, you know how there are smartphones and smartwatches? The
Internet of Things (also known as IoT) refers to the idea of making all
devices 'smart' by connecting them to the Internet. Everything from
your clothes to your coffeemaker will be able to get and send
information. For instance, a bed that will help you get a more restful
sleep by tracking your sleep patterns. A device in a flowerpot will remind
you to water your plant. Your alarm clock will wake you up earlier if
there's heavy traffic on the way to work. A refrigerator will keep track of
how much of an item you have, and order more of it online before it
runs out.
Hannah: That's very cool. And what will make these objects smart?
Jules: They'll have special electronics and software inside, plus a continuous
connection to the Internet. And they'll send and receive information
using sensors and other technology. But the ultimate idea behind IoT is
that objects will communicate with each other. They'll do this by
collecting and exchanging information. When you're driving home in the
winter, for example, your car will tell the heating system in your home
to raise the temperature. So by the time you get home, it'll already be
nice and warm. The Internet of Things is expected to affect almost every
part of our lives. Our world will be one big information system.
Hannah: That sounds very exciting. However, it sounds almost too good to be
true. There must also be some drawbacks to IoT. We're going to take a
short break for a message from our sponsors. When we return, Jules will
share with us some of the possible disadvantages of the Internet of
Things.
