Hailed as the ‘first lady of emerging technologies,’ Dr. Kaur predicts significant advancements that will affect consumers and retailers alike.
Dr. Satwant Kaur gave the keynote address at the 2014 IT Expo in Miami in January, and it’s no wonder: her many awards and accolades show that her accomplishments in the field of technology are unparalleled. Though some of her ideas about our near future sound like something out of science fiction, her authority in these matters is unquestionable; truly, with the aid of technology humans will experience a truly fantastic future. Many of Dr. Kaur’s predictions concern the medical industry, or changes in our transit systems and habits; however, recently she has shared ideas that, should they come to fruition, will soon change our everyday lives as we know it.
Dr. Kaur believes that in the near future, credit cards will be totally obsolete. The magnetic strip is highly inconvenient for customers, most of whom carry smartphones. Why bother with insecure credit cards when digital wallet payments are an option? It’s true, credit cards are not necessarily the safest way to make purchases. For one, their authorization doesn’t specify the amount of the transaction, meaning that a customer can be charged twice by a merchant, whether accidentally or on purpose. Also, the card itself, or its information, can be easily stolen.
Encrpyted digital wallets are the way of the future, insists Dr. Kaur. These wallets will be accessible anywhere through secure smartphone apps, and will authorize payments for specific amounts. Retailers may make them easier to use by installing proximity sensors in checkout registers.

While change sometimes comes slowly, Dr. Kaur is confident that consumers will drive all businesses, no matter the size, to change over to these more advanced payment systems. Both customers and business partners will create the expectation that payments should be sent and received in a secure and convenient manner. Dr. Kaur believes that the advancements in digital wallets will allow all parties to spend and earn in a safer, easier manner.
