Current Events-Credit cards and chips

Techies are calling the upcoming shift in how we will use our credit cards at the store something like "dip the chip."

It's not a bad way of explaining things. Instead of swiping our plastic, we'll be able to slide or dip our chip-equipped credit cards at chip-enabled terminals at the register. You might see the new way of doing things as soon as the next time you shop at Target or another big retailer.

Ye. Let's start getting people used to "chips". Maybe one day we can just put it ON them.
