Perhaps you missed this part: "But an opinion poll this month revealed unease among Swedes, with almost seven out of 10 saying they wanted to keep the option to use cash, while just 25% wanted a completely cashless society."

You might be cashless within your little tech circle, but it appears there are many more people who are uneasy with the idea.



Hey, if I would have been part of that survey, I also would have said "i want to keep the option to use cash".

It's totally possible to embrace the cashless lifestyle while being uneasy with it at the same time. I argue this actually is the norm. Like it is with a lot of stuff we do on the web as well. Who isn't uneasy with all the social media platforms but still uses some of them.

It's the new normal. Being uneasy with things and doing them.
