Blog Assignment 1

i) One aspect about daily life that I hope will disappear altogether in the near future is the use of overhead pictures during classes. As a student, classes are a part of daily life and with a constant development of projectors, the usage of overhead pictures is becoming more old fashioned and belongs to a time before we could fully utilize projectors and power point slides. The use of overhead pictures is already at this point experiencing a diminishing in use which is why I think they will disappear in the near future.

ii) Another aspect of daily life that I think will decrease in usage or disappear altogether within the coming 6-50 years is the use of hard cash. We can already see this happening in some of the Swedish banks as they have removed the use of hard cash in order to avoid money laundering and robbery. More transactions are now done over Internet and/or by card and stores have implemented specific check outs where the only available payment is done by card. In some stores, the only way to pay is by card so there are many indications that we are going towards a hard cash free living.
