> I think your second point is more interesting: why do you think this
digital to analog transition will be a thing? It's not digital to analogue so much as changing forms of digital
technology. Digital technology can exist in many different ways. For
example bus tickets in Budapest used a matrix of holes punched out of
paper a grid because a brilliant Hungarian mathematician worked out a
way to make digital combinations in rows and columns allow multiple
journeys but allow an inspector to see if the passenger had punched
their ticket by adding the holes in some row and column. Like a
primitive QR code that's a digital technology. A single function "digital banknote" that uses practically zero-cost
static patterning would hopefully operate much like a paper note, with
added anti-counterfeit benefits; I could put it in drawer for 10
years, pass it to a friend as a gift, no batteries to charge, no
network to go down, no virus or malware to corrupt it, no remote
kill-switch built in by MegaGigaCom. |
