Young Shoppers Want To Pay With Chip In Skin

I honestly feel sorry for the people who would willingly, albeit unknowingly, be in favour of a system that not only essentially brands them like so many cattle but also allows marketers, and you can bet the rent on this happening, governments to keep tabs on their purchases and activities.

The saucepan has gone up one more degree, and the frog is still oblivious.

Pollsters and the MSM earn their keep through broadcasting outright lies, promoting ignorance and decpetion by way of omission, and manufacturing profitable consent through highly misleading stories.

To illustrate my point, let me rewrite the first part of the story using the EXACT same set of data in a more reasonable way (considering what the data actually says) ...

Young shoppers do not want to pay with chip in skin

Almost no customers are willing to have microchip implants as a means of paying in stores, a report out today says.

Teenagers are less open to the idea of having a high-tech shopping experience, the Tomorrow's Shopping World report suggests.

Around 92 per cent of 13 to 19-year-olds were opposed to the idea of microchip implants while 84 per cent did not want trolleys to be fitted with SatNav systems.

This compared to over 95 per cent and 88 per cent respectively for adults asked the same questions. One third of teenagers and 38 per cent of adults questioned for grocery think tank IGD's report did not want self-scanning systems at shop check-outs.

Some 93 per cent of people in both age groups were not willing to use biometric iris or retina recognition payment systems.

Well put! Propaghanda is always started by "telling" people what it is they want. Advertising wouldn't even exist if we weren't constantly being told that it's what "everyone" is buying. Peer groups are evidence of sheep mentalities. "Gee! How come I didn't get to be on the survey?"

Expect little from life and get more from it.

Yes well put indeed and point taken. More people should be more aware of these tactics.

Everybody got to deviate from the norm

After reading the responses I know why I like these forums, The synergy is awesome!

Wow! 92% of young people want nothing to do with this intrusive technology. Looks like the government is going to have a tough time screwing over this younger generation.

<p>Wait until some flak hits on the idea of body piercings or body jewelry. Then it will become cool......</p> BTW, for government purposes, 8% <b>IS</b> a majority..........<p>---<br>"Son, if you wanna get ahead in this world, never work for another man as long as you live."

Correct, 8% is a majority, even if only 20% of those 8% vote.

Ah, the "power" of one.............. I think it was Arthur C. Clarke who once wrote a sci-fi story about how <b>THE ONE</b> was picked to vote.......... Something about life imitating fiction...<p>---<br>"Son, if you wanna get ahead in this world, never work for another man as long as you live."

Rearguard can I write your reply to this on my site? I'll link back to vive and this article.
