Title: Futurist talk about money revolution and mention bitcoin
Post by: Singlebyte on April 01, 2014, 10:33:11 PM
Futurist talk about the revolution of money and payment systems.  They include bitcoin in the article. 

I think I would hate walking into a store and by facial recognition they know who I am - and they are linked up to my bank/wallet!

...facial recognition?
Public knowledge about TrapWire is scant. But it certainly has the makings of a global security conspiracy: ex-CIA officers, counterterrorism surveillance and mysterious private intelligence firms all play a role in the story. Some commentators have portrayed TrapWire as a 1984-style massive global network of interlinked security cameras and other watching devices.

Security cameras will evolve into SkyNet, haven't you heard?

Well unless we start a major turn round in sustainability, it won't really matter much.
