The Future of Money

Snuggums writes "Apparently some major forces at play in the tech money world. People like Vint Cerf, Tim O'Reilly, Andre Durand, and Cory Doctorow are teaming up with Tom Frey and the futurist think tank, DaVinci Institute, to dive into the forces at play with a Future of Money Summit later this year. They've even tapped a Nobel Prize winner and Visa founder, Dee Hock. They're hoping to answer questions like; what kind of money you'll be putting into vending machines 25 years from now; when will cash disappear; when will our current banking system become obsolete; and who gets to own money in the future?"

    Before credit cards, credit problems didn't exist.

    Ever hear of debtor's prison?

    Come to think of it, maybe a similar idea should be (re)instituted for people with outstanding credit card debt...

    Bush won, Gore lost. Get fucking over it already you cocksmoker.

    Grow up and realize everything isn't always going to go how you want it to go. It is called being an adult. When you learn how to stop bitching and moaning like a fucking 2$ crack whore come back and let us all know so we can gang rape your asshole for shits and giggles.

    bitch!
