Viggi’s Chestnut: Part 1

Digital Annexation


“ Beautiful weather, Captain”, said Baron. For Baron every day seemed to have an appealing acclimate. In fact the skies were overcast and a mild Chinook filled the ambience. The sea was getting rough and the ship was hard to control. Baron, a tall, slim and a dark haired person with the rim of his glasses pressing against his eyebrows, was formerly working as a network specialist, in the DNNC( Department of Networking and Neural Computing). One of the most prestigious departments in the far west.
The year is 2077, paper money had dissipated. Everything was done through the internet. Bionic identity tags were used, like a finger print scan or a retina scan.
All this through the acumen minds in the DNNC. Baron played a major role in the development of this new system.
But as soon as it was developed, politics and bureaucracy took the better of it, from a research center the DNNC was turned into an abode for the green buck seekers.
It was hard to believe that the DNNC was now a major business unit led by its avaricious boss, Grent Corners.
The sub prime crisis hit the US on the face, and DNNC was to change it all through their new system of bionic banking. Currency was no more green bills, it was in digitized. The impoverished had the green bills with them, but as time went these were converted to digitized money, It wasn’t all that hard, all that is required is finger print scan and lo you get the account. Technology was getting the upper hand of life.
The global currency was looking for a change, after the dollar, it was the Euro and after Sub prime took its toll there, it was the Yen, Sub prime was now synonymous to an infectious economic disease ready to strike an up coming nation, it could be juxtaposed in consequence to the African Ebola virus: ultimate debacle.
