Technology like this is making too many people into second class citizens, says DM Deamer
The ending of the coronavirus lockdown has highlighted the gap between the modern way of making transactions and the older cash/ hands-on way of doing business.
Without a credit card and smartphone or computer with internet connection people can’t book attractions.
Without a smartphone they can’t download a barcode ticket to gain entrance.
Without a computer you can’t view goods (no catalogues anymore), etc. Lots of people are becoming second class citizens through no fault of their own.
