I'd agree, I don't know about a cashless 'world' but certainly in the more capitalistic nations, the western world that kind of area, yes, money will be very much relegated within the next half a century, but places like Africa and South America? Maybe not so much.

I must admit I'm not a major fan of the idea...but then again I've been rather a late arriver to the cashless society, only getting a proper debit card a year or two ago, I don't actually spend much online or in the shops (most of it goes on the rent) so I've not really had a use for it. Plus, the amount of times I've seen the card readers break or get cloned...maybe down the line it will be protected more...but you know what they say, every time you build a bigger mouse, someone builds a bigger mousetrap.
