yes as we are going cashless things will get worse
i only use cash to pay handyman and such and for tips - haven't used cash to buy food or gas in decades
and there are apparently places that no longer accept cash because cashiers can't count physical money anymore same as how kids today can't tell time using analog clocks
so yeah as we get more and more addicted to technology we become more hopelessly enslaved by those who control it
and the state of course mandates all sorts of backdoors in everything from routers to phones to printers and cameras and soon ( if not already ) cars ...
frankly all of this will be a good thing for society as a whole because most people can't handle freedom ... just have to figure out how to join the elites so the rules don't apply to us !
