Cashless Society by (guess the year!)

"Peter Ayliffe said that, by 2012, using credit and debit cards should be cheaper and more convenient than cash."

That quote is from the article. Can someone please explain how that is possible. convenient i can understand but cheaper how the hell is that possible.

There is a big difference between the END of THE AGE and what everyone else, particularly on this site, is suggesting. People talk about 2012 as if a total annhilation is going to occur. That is not what the Mayan calendars signify at all. :shk:

This is to ensure our total and complete slavery. but it wont work since many people will reject it and if worst comes to worst we will either have to use money 'illegaly' or just leave their cities altogether and start communities of our own. id like to see them say we cant grow our own food and make our own houses

And the dealer says, "You can't buy my weed you don't have the chip". Is that the way it's going to work?

LOL. I think more likely that those who seek a bit of herbal recreation will return to the old barter system in that case.
