When was the last time you used cash to make a purchase? How often do you use a credit card?
Who benefits by our society moving away from a cash based economy to one based in cyberspace?

Are you really worth 100K just because it's in your bank? Ever try to make a withdrawal of more than a few thousand dollars and have the bank tell you they either don't have that much cash on hand, they will give you a money order that's "just as good as" cash or tell you they have to order that amount of money before they can give it to you? If you can't get your money the moment you want it, whose money is it really?

I'm not kidding.

You know those little magnetic strips on the back of all the plastic cards you carry with you everywhere they go? Who reads them?

It is said that the average urban dweller is photographed more than TWO hundred times a day. If the technology exists to do that, is it such a leap to figure that those little magnetic strips are not being tracked too? What's with those Theft Preventors you have to walk between to enter and exit many businesses? Just what all do they check on?

And cell phones. Pinpoint GPS location.

I LIKE cash. I don't really care about being photographed, but that's because I am not hiding anything but I do rather resent the fact that anytime someone wants to find me, they can just by checking where my phone signal is originating.

Ahhhhh, I've been reading 1984, no wonder.

Still all valid points though, which are not being thought for the first time, merely brought out and looked at, so to speak.
