If anyone has where could I read more? In my imagination it would work like this. I upload some documents I need to print. I go to a convenience store where there is a printer. With my smartphone I scan a QR code on the printer, I print what I want to print, I pay over the Internet. I get going to where I am supposed to be. If the printer is occupied I go to the next convenience store a few block away. I did a quick Google search but I didn't find much info.

We hear a lot about Google, Apple, Microsoft & Facebook, since most people use one or more products from these companies. Yet we never hear about Visa & MasterCard, even though their use is equally widespread. After reading Wikipedia I got curious, so I am wondering if anyone on HN has ever worked at any of these two companies.
