Folks this will be the future. It's only starting. Think about it what is every kid in the country already have in their hand nearly 24 hours a day? Yep a touch screen. Anyone under 30 won't bat an eye at kiosk ordering at fast food restaurants. In fact they will prefer it! The restaurants certainly like it since it cuts down on employee overhead. It's coming and it's coming fast!


I'll give you a related tidbit. They are researching right now using similar technology to the security threads that they use at places like Walmart on high ticket items (you know the things in the package that make the siren go off at the exit if they don't deactivate it at the register) to replace barcode scanning. The idea would be that every package will have an electronic thread in it that a scanner will pickup at checkout without it even having to leave the shopping cart. In fact the "electronic thread" could actually be woven right into your clothes. This would lead to you simply pushing your entire buggy under an arch and everything in the kart would immediately ring up! Incorporate that with something like Exxon's Speed Pass (the little pill sized device that works as a credit card at their pumps) and you could end up walking into the store, picking something up and just walking out with it. It would be paid for out of your account as you left of course. Even worse they are already have something that can be implanted in your body that holds credit card info. There is a company in California already asking for employee volunteers to use such a implanted device.


The scary thing about all this is of course "BIG BROTHER" is always watching. Before you know it, the corporations will know how many times you wear your favorite shirt into what stores and you will be getting advertising about similar shirts available at the competitor on your phone every ten seconds....and that is one of the nicer things they will likely be doing....... You won't be able to have any true privacy anywhere anymore. Its scary for sure, mark of the beast scary!
