Abstract
Smart cards – in the form of credit and SIM cards – are the most common form of IT processing power on the planet. Credit cards mediate transactions worth trillions of dollars every day while SIM cards facilitate millions of conversations binding together our social and economic worlds. In the last two decades these two tools – more than any other technology – have quietly taken us all into a virtual world held together by information stored on electronic media.
