The more cashless our society becomes, the more our moral compass slips.

Dan Ariely
About This Quote

It is easy to say that cashless societies are more beneficial to people, especially in developing countries. However, with the rise of technology that allows us to track every aspect of our lives, this has caused us to lose our moral compass. We do not know what is right or wrong anymore. We are incapable of distinguishing what is right or wrong anymore if we are not even cognizant of the choices. This also means that we are incapable of making informed decisions anymore.
