Plastic Cards in the Digital Age
How many ID cards do you have in your wallet? What we mean by ID cards, here, include any card, paper or plastic, with personal information that can be linked to your identity. They could be a national ID card, a driving license, a student card, a gym membership card or even a loyalty card from your favorite cafe. Hence, an average person who lives in a city could carry around 10-20 ID cards in her wallet.
In this digital age where we can flush a toilet with our phones, is it still necessary for us to carry that many cards in our pockets? Would our lives not be a lot easier if we could put all our cards into mobile phones?
