I still use cash quite a bit and have a part time job which I get paid cash for, so I think I would miss it.
Do you think it would cut down on criminal activity, or is it just another push for government control (knowing what, where and how much we spend)?

It will be all robots and automatons by then, Vam. Cabs will be driver-less etc. Not an appetising thought for the future, really.

Apparantly, an "app" has been developed that allows "sources" to "access and read" your bank account, in order to "sweep" excess cash into a savings account so that you don't "waste it". I find that horrifying and have warned my lot (who seem to be into "apps" ) to go nowhere near it. I don't like this contactless card malarkey much either. It'll be fingerprints to pay for stuff next.

Do you think an automaton will be able to compute "I'd like my steak bleu, please"?

I dislike contactless too, my last bankcard I asked for it not to be - they said it wasn't possible, all new cards are contactless. We will never have any choice it will always be just lumped on us.

I actually think we will start to go backwards at some point. Full circle, as it were, back to basics, as we run out of resources. The service industry is pretty much all we will have left soon. A trip into a town centre these days is all about lunch, coffee, etc. Not much shopping and few shops. Not that I'm complaining about online shopping. But it does feel very indulgent and sometimes I'm sure I can feel the delivery driver thinking "lazy bugger".

we won't become a cashless society, too many minority groups are reliant on cash for it to fully change. travellers, for instance, are mainly cash only. it would be a breach of human rights to force people who have traditionally lived that way to become cashless.
