Is this
good..... or........ bad????
The multi-purpose card is the
latest version of our perpetually metamorphosing IC. With an
embedded smart chip, it can also store our medical history, driver's
license, act as an ATM card, serve as an electronic purse and even
be used at the National Library.
A likely scenario when
ordering pizzas in the near future... |
| |
 |
"Thank you
for calling Pizza Hut . May I have your..."
|
|
"Heloo,
can I order.."
|
 |
|
|
|
"Can I
have your multi purpose card number first, Sir?"
|
|
"It's
eh..., hold on...... 6102049998-45-54610"
|
|
|
|
|
"OK... you're... Mr
Singh and you're calling from 17 Jalan
Kayu. Your home
number is 40942366, your office 7645 2302 and your mobile
is 014 266 2566. Which number are you calling from now
Sir?"
|
|
"Home! How
did you get all my phone numbers?"
|
|
|
|
|
"We are
connected to the system Sir"
|
|
"May I
order your Seafood Pizza..."
|
|
|
|
|
"That's
not a good idea Sir"
|
|
"How
come?"
|
|
|
|
|
"According
to your medical records, you have high blood
pressure and
even higher cholesterol level Sir"
|
|
"What?...
What do you recommend then?"
|
|
|
|
|
"Try our
Low Fat Hokkien Mee Pizza. You'll like it"
|
|
"How do
you know for sure?"
|
|
|
|
|
"You
borrowed a book entitled "Popular Hokkien Dishes" from
the
National Library last week Sir"
|
|
"OK I give
up... Give me three family size ones then, how
much will
that cost?"
|
|
|
|
|
"That
should be enough for your family of 10, Sir. The total
is
$49.99"
|
|
"Can I pay
by credit card?"
|
|
|
|
|
"I'm
afraid you have to pay us cash, Sir. Your credit card
is
over the limit and you owe your bank $3,720.55 since October
last year. That's not including the late payment charges on
your housing loan, Sir."
|
|
"I guess I
have to run to the neighbourhood ATM and withdraw some cash
before your guy arrives"
|
|
|
|
|
"You can't
Sir. Based on the records, you've reached your
daily limit
on machine withdrawal today"
|
|
"Never
mind just send the pizzas, I'll have the cash ready.
How
long is it gonna take anyway?"
|
|
|
|
|
"About 45
minutes Sir, but if you can't wait you can always
come and
collect it on your motorcycle..."
|
|
"
Wat!"
|
|
|
|
|
"According
to the details in system , you own a
Scooter,
...registration number E1123..."
|
|
" *'!^
*%^**%^I7*"
|
|
|
|
|
"Better
watch your language Sir. Remember on 15th July 1987
you
were convicted of using abusive language on a policeman...
?"
|
|
[Speechless]
|
|
|
|
|
"Is there
anything else Sir?"
|
|
"Nothing... by the way... aren't you giving me that 3
free
bottles of cola as advertised?"
|
|
|
|
|
"We
normally would Sir, but based on your records you're
also
diabetic....... " |
