Digital + the card type.

Great idea. 

Let's give thieves, and anyone else, all your personal details, when you lose your phone.

If it comes in to Vic before 2020, it won't work for me.  

I have a 'dumb' phone.    It doesn't support this sort of techie stuff.

Another tech change that I won't be rushing out to get.

A huge amount of people have their entire lives on smart phones, in one way or another, and are most likely

already lining up at the doors, to get the licence for their phone..

I have a smart phone, and deleted most of the apps.   

May sound very strange, but I use it mainly for making & receiving phone calls, & texts (and even texts annoy me).

how long before i can just be 'chipped' like Foo, have everything i need imbedded in my hand.

need to pay a bill, just wave my hand over the bill, paid YAY

need to produce ID, just wave at the cop or whoever, ID provided YAY

need to get into my car and start it, just wave at the door then wave at the dash, done YAY

need to get into the house, just wave at the door, opens, YAY

Sadly, Tas, we have to get one in 2020 when all phones have to be 4G

A guy in Nsw had the chip for his Opal Card (public transport card) inserted into his hand.
