Join us for ML2SIG, every third Monday during the school year!
- Your Next Wallet Could Be Your Smartphone
- Monday, October 15, Noon to 1 PM
- Hatcher Gallery Lab (1st floor Hatcher Graduate Library)
Have you paid for something using Google Wallet on your smartphone? Maybe you've used Square at a local retailer, and signed your signature on an iPad with your finger? What does it mean that it's becoming possible to pay for things without cash, plastic and even IDs?
Join us for a lively discussion of the technologies already around us that are slowly replacing our wallets.
