In my opinion, the decline in cash usage due to the rise of online payments has a negative impact. I concur with Claire's viewpoint that it can lead to poor spending habits. Moreover, I would like to emphasize the inconvenience experienced by the elderly. As digital payment methods become increasingly prevalent, older individuals may struggle to master the latest technology required for online transactions, which could limit their daily activities. Consequently, they may be less inclined to actively engage with society.
