In the future, people may no longer be able to pay for things in shops using cash. All payments may have to be made by card or using mobile phones. Do you think this will happen one day? Why do you think some people might not be happy to give up using cash?

In the modern tech world, the majority of
people
will prefer digital
payment
methods rather than cash.
Although
cashless
payment
is more effective, a minority of
people
are still not ready to accept the changes.
This
essay intends to analyse both types of payments and I personally side with the former view.
Firstly
, it is a fact that the new generation has been growing with technology. So their lifestyle
also
will be changed. Card
payment
will help us to make our purchasing quite effective, easy and eco-friendly.
For instance
, during the COVID pandemic, all types of shopping and paying had to be done online only and
this
saved us from direct contact with others and
also
helped us to minimise the spreading of the virus.
Moreover
, carrying a high volume of money will be resolved with digital cards and less use of paper will be helped us to lead a pollution-free environment.
Although
digital
payment
has benefits, some
people
like senior citizens or
people
who are not well-educated are not able to make the changes yet.
Furthermore
, lack of knowledge and awareness is
also
a big factor in
this
.
For example
, online scams are supposed to happen and the main target will be old age and illiterate
people
. Unfamiliarity to handle electrical equipment and technical methods like OTP, and QR code scanning is
also
a big deal for them.
To conclude
, even though there are both pros and cons to giving up cash, I believe that in the modern
era
Add a comma
,era
show examples
people
will be advanced and the main effect of
this
will be the replacement of cash.
