6 things that could replace paper money

This is possibly the dumbest, or most useless article I've EVER read! 

I've read elementary school newspapers with better content!

I can name more than six things that could replace the writer.

No currency... electronic only?

Does that mean everytime I buy or donate or lend it will be part of a record?

Also, will my whereabouts at the time of the transaction be pinpointed?

Sounds familier, but I wish we could see more good things coming to mankind from this new technology.  This all seems more like controlling the masses.  Hope I'm wrong. 

Once we have a cash less society , the governments will have full control. You don't agree your electronic acct just disappears. You can't buy food etc. Use paper money as much as possible to send a message.

What an idiotic piece of journalistic garbage. Are 8 year olds writing the news at MSNBC?

I agree with Someone.  This article is useless. 

Paper money is the safest.  Anyone can access accounts kept by banks.  The government can freeze them and deduct from them too.  Paper money is hidden from everyone but you.  For the average Joe there is no incentive to keep money in a bank.  No interest, costly fees and fraud eat at your savings.  What is the point?  Another MSN article talked about the increase in home vaults.  Hmmm?  Could there be a correlation?

Really?  Really?!  Carry a few Big Macs around in your pocket to pay for something?  And how would you buy the Big Macs without money?!  Very badly thought out article.

I am reading BBC for news. I am done with msnbc, cnn, yahoo.

If we give the banks control of every single cent we have to our name (no more cash just plastic) and they don't get their demands met (no matter what they are) all they have to do is flip a figurative switch and you don't have a dime to your name and no way to get any.  Do you really want them to have more theiving control than they already have?

I don't.
