Just a quick question,
How does one beg in 2070? If it is now a cashless society, and everybody does their transactions, big and small, using commlinks, how does a homeless bum sit on the side of the road with a cup in their hand these days? If they are just hoping for people to be carrying excess food/alcohol, etc, then they will really be limiting their options. On a side note, how do you mug somebody if all their cash is in a commlink, and every transaction is traceable to time and place, with cameras everywhere? Max, Dunedin, NZ |
