Look at this amazing credit card ad from the 70s. It features an alien woman holding the planet in one hand and a JCB card in the other. The tag line on the right reads: "Cash disappeared from earth?" And on the left, it claims that by the year 2xxx, all humans own a JCB card. Interestingly, while we are in year 2xxx now, Japan is still very much a cash culture.
