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 future, shopkeepers will not accept

cash

payments from their customers. All payments might be done through other

modes

of payment,

such

as cards or using mobile devices. In my opinion,

this

would happen since it reduces

cash

theft.

However

, I believe some people who do not use these other

modes

of transactions would not appreciate

this

decision

. On the one hand, thefts will be reduced

due to

no

cash

.

In other words

, most thieves steal money from shops in the form of

cash

, and if there is no

cash

,

then

this

would not happen.

For example

, in research, it was found that more than half of the thefts involve criminals stealing

cash

from drawers.

Therefore

, I believe that

this

would save shopkeepers from these kinds of criminal activities.

On the other hand

, some uneducated people who do not use these transactions might be unhappy with the

decision

.

This

is because there are many daily wage earners who get their pay in

cash

since they do not have bank accounts and might not be able to learn about other

modes

of payment.

For instance

, more than fifty per cent of the Indian population does not have a bank account;

thus

, they would feel devastated by

this

decision

.

Hence

, I believe that they would not be able to purchase the items they need. In conclusion, I think

this

decision

would help shop owners reduce thefts, but many daily wage earners would be devastated by

this

decision

since they do not know how to use other

modes

of transactions.
