as the video below show, you scan your palm and credit card at a kiosk, and then from then on you can pay with just hovering your hand over a scanner at places (whole foods) that accept it.

I'm sure the OT will 100% be on board with this.

(Honestly this is neat technology that I will never, ever use)

Finally, I don't have to lug around that heavy credit card anymore.

Technology amazes me. I went on a cruise a few months back. I went through the passport line and they had these kiosk. They scanned me and my Passport photo and info showed up. I never interacted with a person at all. I never showed my passport either. It was in my hand. I know it scanned my face, I'm still trying to decide if it used Near field communication as well.

This sort of technology has been around a long time. Amazon just tied it to your bank account.

Revelation 13:16-17

quote:

16 And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads:

17 And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.

Great instead of stealing my wallet, now I might have my hand cut off when I go to NOLA

Honestly it isn't much more than what's already on me. The government has my fingerprints already. My phone tracks everything I do. Still not going to do it, though.

I 100% would be okay with implanting an RFID in the back of my wrist.

As long as I can wear a watch over it and shield it when I need to I'm cool with that.
