I see us marching in that direction.. But not in a way that will really benefit any of us.
The plans for it all speak more of a system of immense, unshakable centralized dependency where compliance will be ensured through everything from food to medicine to general products. Some of which will, as subsets, ensure compliance through dependency themselves (i.e. vaccine dependency for health, food that drives health problems in the public, etc.). ETA: Some of the high level officials envision it without any currency, period, where everything is "free." Lotta people will go for that.. even if the real cost is substantial.
Pretty sure itll be automated though, either way.
