The idea it seems is one day people won't carry wallets. Most places here in the UK don't even give out physical points cards at shops anymore, now all digital

[@ProdriveGT]

Getting ready for the mark.....

Digital ID is unhackable and cant be defrauded ofcourse🙄🙄🙄

[@donman9154]

That's what they would like you to believe... Just ignore all the public notices of when certain gov't & corporate businesses have been hacked and millions of people's data has been breached - it happens more often than they like to admit.

[@Jhchah2492]

@donman9154 exactly

Many moons ago I went to a store to buy some stuff and there was a problem with the pay system so people would get to the till and not be able to pay using their phone...I had my debit card and walked out with my shopping. Its always better to have options because technology is great WHEN IT WORKS.

how dumb are you when you cannot find you license in your wallett ? oh how useless are the young people of this world.

[@valeriejackson7659]

Have you ever been on a bus when young folk are faffing about on their phone app to pay their fare consequently hold up the queue. For goodness sake carry some coin of the Realm in your pocket as a back up. Too much reliance on mobile phones.

I just giggle at those who criticise this but gladly gave all their personal information to google, Facebook/Instagram and other social networks.

You are all missing the point. Carbon tax is coming to all of us. Think of this way. Lawnmower. Driving. Holidays. These will have carbon taxes put on them. Carbon tax is coming on fuel.. So Lawnmowers weedwhackers anything that runs on petrol. Can all be traced through your phone. You got cash on you. They can charge you Carbon taxes. Or another stupid tax they come up with.

[@057rcbartman]
