Cashless Friday

Petak, drugačiji od standardnih, jer ga provodim bez gotovine, samo uz PayPass stiker nalepljen na poleđini mog mobilnog telefona. I gle, funkcioniše odlično. Čak se i pita od maline u Roggenart-u platila malim potezom zgloba pred čitačem. Ljubazna gospođa za pultom smešila se dok smo gledali to malo čudo tehnike kako radi svoj posao iplaća moj ceđeni grejpfrut. ''Da sam juče umrla, ovo ne bih doživela'', kaže dok nestaje iza vitrina sa svežim kroasanima. A ja produžavam do svog omiljenog mesta u jednom od najprijatnijih prostora za pojesti nešto i popiti kafu u Beogradu, Roggenart u ulici Vojvode Stepe.  Sledeće na listi je podizanje karata za pozorište i odlazak na kozmetički tretman. Težak život blogerski. Ostatak to-do liste i ne želim da gledam jer je daleko manje glamurozan no ovaj koji vama trenutno prenosim putem fotografija. Moj PayPass stiker funkcioniše odlično u svim situacijama, i ne izdaje me. Razmišljam o napretku tehnike dok se probijam kroz voždovačku gužvu. Pitam se čime ćemo sutra da plaćamo, ako smo danas došli do platnog stikera koji držim u ruci. I shvatam, budućnost je tu. Već je živimo. 
Do idućeg posta, uživajte u poslednjim danima 2012-te. Vaša B.

Friday, different from the standard ones, because I was spending it cash-free, just using my PayPass sticker attached to the back of my phone. And behold, it worked great. Even the raspberry pie in Roggenart was paid with a small wrist move in front of the PayPass reader. A nice lady behind the counter smiled at me as we watched the little technological miracle doing its job. ''I never thought I would live to see this'', she said, while disappearing behind a glass case with fresh croissants. The next thing on the list was picking up my tickets for theatre, and going to a cosmetic treatment. The hard life of a fashion blogging. During the whole day, my PayPass sticker worked great in all situations. I was thinking about technological advancements while I was making my way through crowded Belgrade. I wonder what means of payment we'll be using tomorrow, bearing in mind that we already have the payment sticker. That moment I realised that the future is here. We are already living it.
Until the next post, enjoy the last days of the 2012. Yours B.
