Re: Prepaid cards?????

Oyster cards hold personal details. It's an interesting question because I don't think such a card exists, although were someone to develop one there would be demand for it from people who do not want to be tracked every time they buy something. I doubt the "internet of things" people would like it though!

I suppose us 'over 50's just don't fit in any more. A young person wouldn't think twice about supplying their life details in order to buy a sandwich in the cafe.

I guess they don't realise that companies used to pay good money for information now given for free. All these systems are tracking devices. We may as well have a microchip.

That sounds quite possible in the future.

It's not the future LD. Some employees have been asked to inject a tag by big corporates. This is out of control IMO and is it a surprise state support is there all the way. Now they are talking about giving the state control to police the net. It's funny that we tag criminals isn't it and yet we are voluntarily tagging ourselves! The world is nuts. We are sleepwalking into dystopia.
