The use of cash has been slowly eroded over the years.....it seems that your phone and wrist watch have been the modern trendy way to do transactions. BUT....hang on....things might be changing......cyber attacks are now becoming the norm and the use of cash might be returning.....although shop cash registers might not be able to work due to these cyber attacks. SO maybe the modern trend of just walking into a shop and filling your pockets and walking out without paying....might be the only way left.
Rooney reveals the success of his playing days was because they all played video games on the coach. Why on earth didn't he do that on very long coach trips from Plymouth....we would have been World Club Champions. Or was that just to long for him to concentrate.
It’s more than the tills that are likely to stop. Until you know what you’re dealing with, there’s not much option but to shut everything down. That’s likely to stop procurement and stock management, so pretty soon there’s no stock on the shelves. The recent attack on M&S is a good example. Whether you like it or not, everything relies on IT systems these days. I like it.
This day an age can be rather frightening.....a persons whole life on a mobile phone.....every part of their life is on a bit of equipment 5inx3in....you see them desperately scanning through their phone to pay for the shopping...to pay for parking...to pay for their bus ride etc etc ....and now also your medical records and messages are now on your phone to book a doctors appointment or chat...its all their just waiting to be lost or stolen.....and when your patiently waiting behind them you can see that they also have various plastic cards in the other half of the phone wallet.....a muggers paradise before you. And now and behold at any moment a cyber attack can shut it all down in an instant......Russia...China etc are surely behind some of these big cyber attacks. On the battle field in Ukraine a drone can follow you around and kill you.....could that not happen here in real life one day....to attack you or spy on your every movement.....we'll all be walking around with equipment protecting us from a drone latching on to you. I'm just about to go to bed with all these thoughts spinning through my brain.....please take me back to the simple days of the 1950/60's when it was just the iron curtain and an atomic bomb to worry about.
