Meta, but 1) I am not the author 2) I agree with the ideas presented 3) I've written similar pieces on similar ideas, have researched the topic and been interviewed as an expert for documentary film and television. So, I experienced the piece as well written, accessible and thorough, covering most of the common talking points and offering some good new thoughts. Now obviously we each experience things we agree with differently than those we disagree with. It does seem that ideas around cashless commerce are very polarising. But what I am seeing in this this thread is some quite disappointing modes of argument, including your own comment which is really just fulminating against the style of writing and the author. It would be much more interesting to know why you feel aggrieved by opposition to cashless technologies. Can you tell us that?
