It's been stated that by 2022, all Australian banks will be cashless and people will no longer be able to spend money without going through a bank and going digital.
India is well on the road, too, by eliminating their two highest denomination bills.

Going cashless will not be a good thing, as the government will have total access and control over your money, and how you spend it.
