Default Microchips in Cards - Slow

https://blog.mint.com/wp-content/upl...-Card-Soon.jpg

You may have notice that they started putting embedded microchips in cards. This is my experience of observing their use.

I go to the store a lot and all of a sudden people are using the cards with embedded microchips. (I tend to use cash when I shop.)

So, the steps they have to go through a

1. Stick the card into the reader.
2. Push a button on the screen.
3. Sign the screen electronically.

Secondary things that has to happen:

1. Cashier has to push a button on the register.
2. Wait until the reader reads the microchip. (Seems like forever.)

It's a very slow process. Much slower than swiping a magnetic strip.

And when I see people do this, I think: You're only one step away from sticking a microchip into your hand.
