In a bit of a separate twist from credit cards vs. cash, I was shocked about a month ago on a news article that said for the first time in America, credit card (and I think debit card) transactions exceeded check writing for the first time. I was absolutely shocked that Americans were still so stuck into check writing. That milestone was passed years ago in most other industrialized countries.
I am irritated having to still write 2 checks a month (as a Canadian ex-pat in the USA), one to my lawn maintenance provider and one to a landlord on a rental situation. I don't know that I had to write more than 6 checks a year in Canada, mostly in one off situations such as gifting.
