Would a cashless society become a full reality?

I really hope not because I don't like the idea of depending on credit cards alone, somehow I find them less tangible than money. Imagine there's a power shortage or some computer malfunctions, then what? No ATM, no bank operations ... Of course I don't mean one should keep all his money under the mattress, of course not. I use cards as much as the next guy/gal. But I really think one should have some emergency cash money for an ... well, an emergency. You never know what might happen.

Yes, I do think we are heading that direction, but I don't know how soon we will get there. As it is, there is so much invested in the various currencies all over the world, it is hard to imagine them shutting down altogether in the near future.

I pretty much do that now. I use my bank card out of the house. And pay my bills on line

For me, I think you need to have partial of each. For example, credit terms up to 30 percent and 70 per cent of spendings by cash. It is not possible to totally do away with cash neither credit or cashless. I believe the two will always work side by side and hand in hand.

I just don't think it is possible. It is hard to merge all cashless options into 1 that can cater to all wealth classes. Unless it is made into law, there are just too many poor people still to take our society completely cashless.

I don't think so that a cashless society will be our future.If everyone will just prohibit from debt and all those credit cards then we can avoid this situation in the future.

I can't say forsure but the way it has been going it does seem very possible that someday we will have no money to handle. I don't think this is a good sign though, when everyone goes to using the same form of buying and selling I believe this is a sign of the end being near.

It's already starting as far as I'm concerned. I was going to buy something around Christmas time. I had gone to the bank to get some money and when I went to pay using a fifty dollar bill the cashier wasn't allowed to take anything over a 20.00. Of course we know why, it's the idots that are making their own money. I think it's been made eazy to copy currency with the technology out there today with some of those printers. As a result we all pay the price of again doing something we really didn't want to do. I especially feel sorry for the people that are blind and for those who don't read and write. This will definately affect them the hardest, just one more thing to take away the only thing they have left, a little bit of indepenancy
