Techno-optimists tend to under-estimate the number of fingers the economy needs into your personal life in order to deal with the world over RFID. The end result will be a further divergence between the morlocks and the eloi.

    But the survey also looked at “underbanked” households, which have a bank account but still elect to use services like check cashing, money transfers, payday loans, and pawnshops. Little has changed in those numbers, as the percentage of the underbanked was 19.9% last year compared to 20% in 2013, a modest 0.1% change.

"last year" being 2015.
