Wallet, Thing of the Past
It seems that we're really going into the age of a cashless society. Instead of cash, we have checks and credit cards. Instead of checks, we have ATM/debit cards. We can now pay our bills online. Heck, we can shop online.
Now, we have fingerprint scanners (will need to set up a free account to view article, if you haven't already) that have been slowly installed in some convenience stores. Dollar Rental Cars have installed these scanners as well.
However, advocates are concerned...privacy issues. Identity theft? Police records?
Will this be the end of dollar bills? Will wallets and greenbacks be things of the past?
