A1 Read the passage carefully and answer the questions that follow:

Imagine a travel scene a decade ago, with family members or friends and lots of luggage. Every such journey undertaken in those days was made arduous with the nagging thought of one particular aspect: managing and keeping the cash stashed away safely during the course of the travel to fulfil various needs. How to carry so much money at a time, to unfamiliar places? How much to carry? How safe is it to carry? Will it be sufficient; if not, what to do? All such thoughts used to jade one‟s mind before and during the trip.

But today the entire perspective has changed. We live in a world full of cards of different kinds and multifarious uses. Right from the hotel bill to train or airline ticket charges and from taxi bills to a bagful of shopping can be cleared with the help of cards, making travel absolutely hazard free. Cards have become part and parcel of our daily life. The morning begins with the milk booth prepaid card, then the punch card at the work spot and, during the course of the day, one flashes a number of cards like credit cards, debit cards, discount cards, privilege cards, etc. Even the driving licences and registration certificates have taken the shape of cards.

The card culture made its entry into the daily life a decade ago, initially placing itself gently among the elite as a niche product and then spreading like wild fire to become a necessity for all and sundry. Cards seem to be replacing much paper work. A Credit card gives one credit for a whole lot of things anywhere under the sun, a debit card enables one to shop practically with an empty wallet, a discount card helps one to strike the best bargain, a privilege card makes one an exclusive person, an identity card distinguishes a person, a voter‟s card turns one into a responsible citizen of the country, a PAN card certifies one as an assessee. What else would one require to get recognized and survive?

In spite of its tremendous growth, one thought that keeps bugging people is the security aspect of the card. With the advent of EDC (electronic data capturing) machines and smart cards, the security lapses and fraudulent usage of cards have almost been eliminated, leaving a very slim chance of misuse. The only possible chance of misuse is when a card is lost and even that can be minimized to nil effect or to a minimum penalty if the loss is reported within 24 hours.
