Though this may sound radical(过激的), it is a natural evolution in this digital society.Sweden, which was the first European country to introduce banknotes in 164, has just been working harder to convince its residents that digital payments are a safer alternative to carrying cash.Over the years, the idea has gained popularity with residents, especially the younger generation that is much more comfortable with technology.
