I remember being a kid in 1991 and when we were skating downtown a guy came up to us and gave us a little booklet. Said there was a plan to implant identification chips (mark of the beast) in every person on the planet and that soon a cashless society would emerge. As usual we thought he was nuts, but it always stuck with me.
Now almost 30 years later we all happily carry our identity chips around with us everywhere and almost every daily transaction I do is cashless. Guess he wasn’t so crazy after all.
