Okay, that is fine. I would like to ask about the ability of the technology itself to move with the times. Difficulties can arise when technologies become antiquated and unusable within five to ten years of being produced and have to be redone. I hate the expression "future-proofing", but I assume some sort of future-proofing is built into the production of this card. I ask Ms O'Donoghue to enlighten me in that regard.
