The path the card takes in one day can be as complex as you are. Lets skip into the future for a second and pretend newspapers were able to hang on and not completely die out.
The newspaper you received today will have your name address and Clickcard number on the mailing sticker. When you get back to the breakfast table and pour yourself a cup of orange juice you will find as you flip through and read the headlines, that all the stories and all the ads are actually quite interesting. It might actually take you a little longer to get through the paper this morning because so much of the information is relevant to you. This is because this newspaper was personally printed for you based on your profile from Clickboards.net. You will feel happy to know that all those direct mail specials and early bird sale items you see in the paper have been already sent to your profile even before you picked up the paper that morning.
So it’s off to work and time for a coffee. Well you are a regular at Time Coordinate Cafe, and its Friday. You know what that means, this is your sixth cup of coffee this week and you have used your Clickcard each time so this one is going to be free. They are even going to give you a discount on your muffin because you found a Clickboard online that you saved yesterday using your Clickcard.
Your just getting to work and you realize that printer is out of ink. You can go to the store but you have work to do, so you instead quickly go online to Officegizmos.com. This is a usual place for you to buy office supplies and you know you have a folder of coupons that you saved which have been sent from them to Clickboards.net. You managed these coupons into this folder so you know when is the best time to make a purchase and use the coupons together. You make your order and it asks for your Clickcard number. When checking out you notice that you saved $15 on the ink, pens, paper, and folders that you just added to your cart. This is a pretty good start to your day.
At lunch you and one of your colleagues head to Old Four Rivers. You know a lot of people that go here for lunch and they are part of your Clickboards.net account. Your hungry so your order the ribs. Wow, that was good. The waitress comes and takes your Clickcard and credit card off to the register to pay the bill. When she comes back you notice that you got your meal at half price. Your lucky today. Five other people you know ordered the ribs in the last week. That earned your group a half price meal and you were the lucky one to get it. Awesome.
At work again, you check your Clickboards.net account. You want to check in and see what kind of business purchasing activity your competitors in your network are up to. You see that there is a lot going on with people investing in advertising. You think this could be the time to do the same. You go back to your profile and change one of your business interests towards possible advertising deals. Tomorrow you will come in to check one of your folder in boxes to see if there are some deals that could make advertising a real interest.
Time to go home, you want to stop by the grocery store to pick up a few items for dinner. When you get there you quickly go over to the Clickboards.net Kiosk and swipe your Clickcard. You see from the morning paper that there are some specials on tomatoes, beef, and cheese, that you want. You tap those and exit. This info is sent to Clickboards.net and it sees that you are probably going to be interested in lettuce, onions, and potatoes. You once answered that you like to make taco salad so it adds these items to your short term account. You go ahead and pick up some milk like you do everyday along with some taco shells and hot sauce. When you check you swipe your Clickcard and pay. The specials for the day were taken off and the best prices from all the local grocers was found for the lettuce, onions, and potatoes. For the milk you got some points and a coupon for the next time you buy hot sauce. You look at your receipt and you see the cents off on all these items.
Happy you head home and make dinner. Later that night you are watching your iTV. With your iRemote bla bla bla (Too much in the future)…
Before you go to bed you get back on Clickboards.net and manage your account a little. You break down your incoming savings into different folders and then spot one that you know your friend Billy would like. It’s a ten dollar discount at Banana Banana. You just bought some shoes there that he really liked. So you forward the coupon to him.
It’s good to know that the newspaper the next morning is already being tailored for your morning reading and orange juice.
该卡的操作系统可以在一天之内变得和你一样复杂。现在让我们跳到未来，假设报纸还没有消失而还在坚持被人们使用着，让我们举几个简单的例子来看看使用clickcard会给您的生活带来些什么方便和利益。
那么今天您收到的被寄来的报纸，上面的邮寄贴纸上将会印有您的姓名地址和Clickcard号码。当您回到早餐桌上给自己倒一杯橙汁，并打开报纸随意翻阅的时候，通过阅读头条新闻，您会发现所有的故事和所有的广告都很有趣。那么这个上午您可能会花多一点的时间去阅读这份报纸，因为这么多的信息都是与您相关的。这是因为该报纸是专门根据您在Clickboards.net上注册的档案而专门为您印刷出版的 。您更会很惊喜的发现所有的这些专刊和报纸上所有的各个地方新的优惠信息早就在您早上拿起这份报纸之前就已经被发送到您的clickboards.net的帐户上了。
好，现在该去上班了，不过您还是有时间到经常去的时间坐标咖啡馆里喝杯咖啡。今天是周五，我想您知道这意味着什么，因为这是您在这个星期里喝的第五杯咖啡，而且每次您都使用了您的Clickcard，所以这一次将是免费的。他们甚至还给您买的松饼打了个折扣，这是因为昨天您在Clickboard上看到了一张时间坐标咖啡馆的松饼折扣的优惠券，所以您保存在了您的clickcard帐户里以方便今天使用。
您刚到公司准备开始工作，但是您发现，打印机里没有墨了。您可以去商店买，可是现在您有更重要的工作要做，所以您马上上网来到Officegizmos.com这个网站 。这是一个您经常来采购办公用品的网站，而且您知道您已经保存了从他们这个网站发到您的Clickboards.net帐户中的优惠券 ，而且您把这些优惠券整理到了一个文件夹中，这样可以让您知道什么时候是最好的时间来用这些优惠券到这里购买您所需要的东西。您选好了您要买的东西之后，网站要求您输入您的Clickcard号码。当您阅读您的消息的时候发现在您刚刚购买的墨水，笔，纸张和文件夹中，共节省了15美元。这真是您美好一天的开始。
中午您和您的同事去老四川饭馆吃午餐。您知道很多人都来这里吃午饭，而且他们是您Clickboards.net拥有共同爱好的群组中的一部分人。您很饿，所以点了份排骨。哇，真的很好吃！午餐结束后，服务员来把您的Clickcard和信用卡拿去付帐单。当她拿回来您的账单时您发现，您刚刚的用餐享受了半价优惠。真是幸运的一天啊！ 您知道了在上星期在您的群组中有5个人和您一样点了排骨，所以第六个点排骨的人就可以得到半价享用的机会，而您就是幸运的那一个。真是太棒了！！
在工作中，您浏览您的Clickboards.net帐户。您想看看您的竞争对手在进行怎样的商业采购活动。您看到，有很多人目前正在投资做广告。您认为这可能是时侯来做同样的事了。您回到您的个人资料中把其中一项商业爱好改成了可能的广告协议。明天你会再来查看一下您文件夹里的资料，看看能不能把一些广告协议变为事实。
到时间回家了，您想去杂货店买一些东西来做晚餐。您一到那就很快到Clickboards.net台去刷您的Clickcard 。您从早上的报纸中看到，今天有一些您想要的西红柿，牛肉，奶酪会有些特殊的优惠。您点击这些想要的东西，然后退出系统。此信息会被发送到Clickboards.net，信息会显示您很可能还会对生菜，洋葱和土豆感兴趣。这是因为您曾经在网上说您喜欢做塔科沙拉，所以增加了这些东西在您的短期帐户里。您像往常一样买了牛奶，不过这次您同时也买了一些塔科和辣酱。当您用您的Clickcard刷卡支付。而网站已经帮您从当地所有的杂货店中找到了这一天之内最好的生菜，洋葱和土豆的最优惠的价格。买了牛奶之后，您到了一些积分和一张优惠券，供您下次购买辣酱时使用。当您看您的收据时您就可以看到您买的这些所有东西所得到的优惠。
您很高兴的回家做晚餐。晚饭之后你也许在看你的iTV ，用着您的iRemote等等（未来有太多可能） …
在您睡觉前您又上Clickboards.net管理了一下您的帐户。您把您储存的优惠券分类整理并储存到不同的文件夹中，然后标注了其中一个您知道您的朋友贝利会喜欢的优惠券。这是一个在banana banana 商店的10美元的折扣。您不久前刚刚在那买了几双鞋，他也很喜欢。所以您把您的优惠券转发给了他。
相信您想到第二天早上的报纸已经为您量身定做好了，您一定会很开心。
