A PROJECT backed by the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation has given chip-embedded smart cards to 500 prostitutes in Mysore, India.
The card allows them to get discounts in shops and hotels and earns them loyalty points that can be redeemed for discounts on later purchases.
But the cards also have the medical record of the prostitute who has to compulsorily get his or her health check up at a clinic once in three months. The card becomes inactive if the holder fails to do this.
The big idea is that it will mean that more prostitutes will be checked for sexually transmitted diseases and get treatment.
Damn, Bill has his hands in everything!
Now see this is because Bill, being the "king of the nerds", understands that many intelligent, yet socially awkward, men may need the services of a professional woman with a clean medical record and access to discount hotel rooms.
And with so many of our tech support business now being outsourced to India there must be tons of new nerds with a steady paycheck who need a little lovin'.
Bill Gates is a caring, caring man.
