Eurosmart context: "A major achievement in 2007 was the release of the “Vision Paper 2020” presenting the vision of experts on how the Smart Security technology will look like in 13 years, including market trends and future applications. While it is the role of governments to answer the sensitive question of finding the balance between security and privacy for society, it is our responsibility as an industry to explain the characteristics and the benefits of the smart secure technology to the general public. The first presentation of the Vision Paper was given to representatives of the European Commission in April 2007 in Brussels. The document was then promoted throughout the year and in particular by Eurosmart Chairman in his opening speech at Smart event and Cartes in France, and Omnicard in Berlin, in order to reach the largest possible audience but also to confront this view with different inputs."
Quote: "We can already foresee the 20 billion devices per year milestone passed by 2020, based on already 

identified new applications and based on untapped opportunities such a Machine 2 Machine"
Quote:

"Smart card applications fall into three areas of use today – human to human, human to machine and machine to machine. Their legacy is in bringing authentication and personalisation to transactions. In the future, that legacy will become ever more important but in addition, smart objects will add decision making capabilities too.  

A typical day in 2020 will see smart objects being used by consumers and citizens to access and enjoy personalised educational and entertainment experiences, for civil and online identification purposes, to protect and monitor their health against unexpected threats, for access, for transit, for payments, for faster and more convenient shopping experiences and for much more. They will make life easier for all of us, not just the rich, but developing nations and the digitally excluded too. And around us, smart objects embedded in M2M applications will use heuristics to make our technological life simpler and better than ever before."
