Could anyone please explain to me how MasterCard's new paypass system is so revolutionary? So I can now "tap" my card to pay for stuff, instead the usual "swipe" motion. Great! I still need to sign for my purchase anyway, or if I'm using the debit feature I have to type in my PIN. Is there a problem with swiping-related injuries in the United States? Something that tapping can solve? At least it's not as bad as those retarded min-cards that Bank Of America sent out a couple years back. I refuse to change my payment motion until I can get a chip implanted in my hand and just snap my fingers to pay for stuff. That'd be cool. Besides, I'm tired of looking like an idiot when I am standing in line tapping my card on a machine where the stupid paypass thing doesn't work.
That reminds me of a sci-fi short film I saw one day. In the future, everyone has a card with a kind of timer on it, which they can use to purchase anything they want. However, for every purchase, a little bit of time is subtracted from the timer. Only problem is that the timer indicates how long your life will be. Essentially, increased spending results in shorter lifespan... interesting concept. Takes out the middle man we have right now: work. 'Cuz right now the whole increased spending = more time at work = shorter lifespan isn't for me.
