Information and capital have become fluid components in our daily lives. We used to wait days and weeks for the exchange and reciprocation of said information and capital. Now it only takes us minutes, if not, seconds to get it. Electronic devices, particularly mobile devices, have made digital acceleration a reality but there are a few apps that champion this idea of change.

Despite stumbling stock and a slew of executives leaving the nest, Twitter is an incredibly powerful app that is shaping the way the world interacts today.

Fast forward two decades later and we now have Square Cash, also known as Cash App, an app that instantly transacts money between two parties for free. Not only does the app benefit kids who can't wait for their free money to arrive, but it also foreigners in different countries send money back home to their friends and family.
