yes, I do foresee the end of cash as we know it, but for me, I'll ALWAYS have a keyed lock to my home. There's just too many hackers out there who can easily bypass those electronic door locks. Yes, anyone can get into a house (someone busted a window to get inside mine) but I'm certainly not going to make it easier.

As for automobiles, not much I can say or do about that. And yes, I cannot tell you the last time I sat down and wrote a check for anything, much less wrote a check at the supermarket. I do remember almost 40 years ago laughing at someone when they told me within 50 years we'd be a 'cashless' society. Credit Cards were everywhere, but we still used 'knuckle-busters' to imprint the card numbers onto the carbon slips at the gas station and jewelry store I worked at. No such thing as a magnetic stripe, or 'Pay-At-The-Pump' convenience. Yup, times have changed, some for the better, some not so much.
