From The Atlantic:
While we rarely think of it in this way, the payment system we use every day is among
the most widespread and functional examples of an Internet of Things. It is an array
of objects embedded with chips, magnetic stripes, scanners, and touchpads. These things

monetary value…. Bill Maurer is the dean of social sciences and a professor of anthropology
and law at the University of California, Irvine.
