The death of credit cards? buy PAY

Quote from CT10Gov:

Well.. I posed a bunch of hurdles... you offer no counterpoint - other than "the march of high tech".

Same could have been said about pets.com once upon a time, no?

yeah, good point. No one really knows what the future holds.

I liked pets.com--- got food from them for my golden, much cheaper and easier than heading to the pet store, but still can't figure out how they delivered those heavy bags for so cheap..... :D
 

Whoa, i would venture this is stretching things just a little. surf
 
But you are claiming you do: "it seems like a done deal."

No?

(as for pets.com - of course it was awesome; and I don't think they figured out how to deliver those heavy bags so cheaply either)

Yes, that is my opinion but its based on what I see. Google is already in nearly every walmart check out lane, as well as paypal being transitioned to POS terminals. surf

nah, a nano/micro chip implanted under your skin is waaay better!
in addition, it can track your every move, thought and even attempt to think negatively about the government or monsanto.

using a material called graphene (1 atom thick) you can essentially pack a whole history of a subjects weekly facebook activity, entire lifetime history of purchases, congress library and 3D videotape archive of your family going back 5 generations from CCTV cameras.

:cool: coming soon. very soon.
 
Sorry, what exactly is "dying"? Card is nothing more then a delivery system, it's the credit aspect that matters. So, instead of credit "cards", it will be credit "accounts" or whatever - the model is still the same...

Yes. I think people will not have the card in the purse and the wallet no more to make purchase. The new technology is saying you still have credit and debit, but no more cards to use. You link your credit card to the phone, so no more swipe. And with this smart phone they will use fingerprints scan so is really easy with no log in, no password, no username, no secret questions to security to answer.

The different part is consumers will be tracked by merchants so offers can be beamed to them as the enter the store, merchant will know your habits as soon as you enter--- good or bad? Depends on who you ask

maybe that's why they always treat me as "Dip shit tightwad who never spends his money on anything"

on the otherhand when I go to the bar, all the beautiful girls want to wait on me, because my profile is posted in big bold letters, "BIG TIPPER."
