The Swedish BankID is an identification system that was imposed on citizens by the Swedish State. As usual, Sweden will be the first to the last technology. Today, you can barely contact authorities, banks, insurance companies, corporations and institutions without a valid BankID. Add to that, the possibility of cash payments is disappearing at a rapid pace, and you even need a BankID to park your car. Without a BankID, no payments are possible. The older segment of the population is the one who pays the price for modernity, when they can no longer cope with their everyday lives.
The biggest problem that has affected the elderly is that criminals have found ways via BankID to cheat thousands of people out of their life savings (and that takes usually a few minutes)....and what responsibility does the Swedish State take for their constant pursuit of modernity that makes life difficult for a large part of the population ? None at all - arrogance is their motto.
