Cash or card? Soon we'll
be paying by handshake
The article
looks at how technology is changing and becoming more futuristic. For example
the way in which things are paid for has developed into cards in which you just
have to tap on a reader. This will still be developed in the future and will
change the way people will be able to pay for things through. Along with this
they talk about a 'touchless' system. Meaning that you would be able to
simply pick up your products and walk out of a store.
Key Points:
·
Contactless technology has been
available in the UK since 2007
·
There are currently 31.3 million
credit and debit cards enabled with contactless technology
·
You can "wave and pay"
with some mobile phones, such as the Samsung Galaxy S3
I think there
will be too many complications with this system although it would be an easy
and more convenient way to shop. However as it will be introduced sometime in
the future, it may have some success.
