That really depends on where you live I guess.

Random anecdote from Estonia. I noticed around a year ago that I'm getting old - I was the only person in a restaurant that used his card to pay - everybody else used either their watch or phone. Since then, I've also upgraded/downgraded and started to use my phone for payments.. just because I don't wanna be _that_ dinosaur.

It's not always like that though - you still have lots of people using credit cards (or rarely cash) in grocery stores etc, but it does seem much more common for _the elderly_, like me, 40+ :P



It seems though that Estonia is at the bleeding edge of digitalization (at least compared to France where we are in the 17th century in comparison).

I will check myself in May when I spend a week in Tallin :)

You need to get a little bit older, eventually you’ll find amusing to be the dinosaur surrounded by sheeps.
