I'm not sure if this has been discussed yet but how do you people here at Canadian Content feel about everybody having to have chips in their credit cards?
I just don't trust anything that has to do with all this technology and banking. I also don't like how they don't give us a choice for this option. The fact that they are shoving it down our throats bothers me.
But I've thought about it and I could see it being used as a tracking device that monitors what we spent for decades and will accumulate our debt. And of course it will be some crazy figure that no one will be able to pay off, effectively entrapping our future and unsuspecting generations in slavery. After all, someone has to pay the piper.
I could see that happening.
If you are concerned about this you should read up on RFID – It will in the near future be implanted in all cards you have in your wallet – walk thru the scanners at store and bingo – they have you – pick up a product from the shelf – bingo they have you – they will be able to tell how many times an item was picked before purchase –
For the last number of years when a person calls into a service centre for info, complaint etc – it would go to your phone number – locate the area you live in, tell what approx income level you have and guess what – those with the bucks get moved up first
But what they will be able to do with RFID scares the shXt out of me – Nothing you do in public will be private.
Hi Goober,
Even this thread, but not others here, sends a cookie (loyaltymagazine.com) to your computer (my software blocks it) because Andem and/or Sir Francis included a hot-linked graphic of a credit card in his post. Spyware and/or cookies track your every move on your computer. I don't think you can avoid it now!
What I also find a little disturbing is how so far everybody seems ok with this kind of thing. Fine say I'm in the dark ages. I may be a little behind but at least I'm not apathetic! Which is worse?
Givepeaceachance, you cannot stop the advance of technology, any more than you can seal a dike by putting a finger in it. Technology is advancing at breakneck speed and those who oppose it will be left behind, nothing more.
I just don't trust anything that has to do with all this technology and banking.
I could see that happening.
Well, left behind where? To do what?
Your statement isn't enough. It substantiates nothing. Tell me more.
