Superphone

What is it that you carry on you at all times? Is it one thing or several? Do you carry keys, wallet, phone, pictures, lipstick, etc? I was thinking today as I was digging through my massive purse how I wish I didn’t have to have so much stuff with me at all times.

I then stumbled across an article tonight that had just to do with that. It was about the possibility of keys, items in a wallet, and a cell phone into one “super phone”. This device could unlock your car and start it, pay for items in the store in stead of using a debit card or cash, and do everything else that a regular phone does.

I was excited about this to begin with and then thought about how much trouble it could cause if you lost your phone or it got stolen. Wouldn’t that person then have access to your accounts and credit cards? That would be worse than losing your wallet if you ask me. The things that could be done would be almost instantaneous. The person could empty your accounts without anything stopping them. What if they knew what car was yours and they could take it with such ease.

Phones get lost and phones can break either on purpose or on accident. I am not sure that having the ability to start my car and pay for things in one device is such a wise idea considering all the things that can go wrong. I think I will stick with my cluttered purse. I rather lose or break one thing and not lose all three. What about you? Would you like a device like this? Would you like the device to do something else that wasn’t described? After all….this may be in our near future.
