I'm as close to 100% cash as I can get

Me too. Anything I can't pay for by cash, I write out a check. Online payments are just asking for trouble.

As far as those who prefer a cashless society, you can't fix stupid. If everything were an online transaction, freedom is gone. Wouldn't be long before the gov is telling you how much you can spend on what, how much to save, automatically deduct taxes and other expenses. People will be allowed to charge items up to a prescribed amount, leading to forever debt. The banks will own everyone.

It'll happen. When folks age 50 (or so) and older are out of the mainstream, there will be very little resistance to the "convenience" of a cashless society from younger generations.

The somewhat dystopian future as depicted in “Minority Report” is coming closer.

If there is one basic right every human should have, it is the right to get lost and be left the hell alone (assuming he/she hasn’t done anything to anyone else).
