A World Without Money
Cash is disappearing from ordinary transactions, replaced by plastic swipes, chip readers, and mobile apps that promise speed and convenience at the checkout counter. This film follows that shift into a fully digital economy, looking at how contactless payment systems and smartphone wallets have changed daily spending habits in just a few years. It weighs the appeal of tap-and-go convenience against the tradeoffs that come with it: dependence on networks and devices, the loss of anonymous cash transactions, and the growing amount of financial data collected every time a card or phone is used to pay. Voices from banking, technology, and consumer advocacy weigh in on what a cashless society actually looks like once it arrives, and who benefits most from it. The film treats the question less as a prediction than as a snapshot of a transition already underway, asking what is gained and what quietly disappears when money stops being something you can hold.
