In Japan there are a few electronic cash systems that work as simply as shown in the ad, and you can even wave your cellphone instead of a card. That said, I saw ONE person use it in almost a year, and it was because he was showing me how it worked. No doubt it's impressive technology, but it's far from replacing cash.
As for the ad, I am really annoyed by the look of condescension when the guy tried to use cash. I don't like either of visa's new commercials.
