using cards to buy cards..

I'm gonna remember the day when we're buying cards with cards. NO not hallmark cards, not thank, happy birthday or congratulations cards. simple "product" cards. gift cards, bonus cards, "use this to shop on-line" cards... AND paying with the wonderful credit or debit card... No wonder there's no more CDs, book or movies in stores. they really ALL did move to the other world; the on-line world. NOT THAT IT'S A NEGATIVE thing, but simply a call to analyze the drastic change in our materialistic thinking. there are no more objects to be bought, rather an object to buy them with. And what's gonna happen when we eliminate the middle man. when you only use your pocket-size life container, also known as your phone/computer/agenda/ID to capture the item of your interest, or at least the code you need to acquire, press "capture" and log to you account to pay for it and utilize as you will. the biggest worries for these costumers will be if there's either web access or if the battery is low the same way we use to worry about having out wallets in oir pockets or if we had enough cash to pay for that one special impulsive desire that added to our consumerist life-style. i repeat: this is not a negative perspective. simply a call for reflexion and analysis. cashier will not be necessary, but an assistant shopper will be. carts will not be necessary but addition RAM will be. you will not need to go out and do any of these things, but transportation WILL be as much as the rare desire to go out in the day and simply take a walk for the sake of change of scenery. ON this walk the brian will exercise some critical thinking as to why computer are now soluble and digestible and how wonderful it is to be on-line without the weight of a device. maybe an ancient instinct sparks the decision to log out as you walk into the store and buy for the first time in a long time, a bottle of organic apple juice in addition to your new apps in the actual store. And as ou reach for your pocket, you think... how silly of you; you left your wallet at home. no card to buy cards or that tempting juice. But it's ok... just log back on and forget you ever had this urge to behave so primitive-esque. purchase your indulgence and head back home to post a comment about it next to your opinion on the most recent on-line video.
