I am sure there are those out there who are already calling this "the mark of the beast" or "the coming of the end of the world." I assure its no more the end of the world than it was yesterday.
Today Google announced its latest step to simplify life, Google Wallet. The Wallet has many things about it but in particular it will allow users to skip the wallet and put their credit cards on their phones along with things like tickets and coupons (some of which can be done using various apps).
Now don't get too excited it is being rolled out slowly and first to Sprint (really??!!?? Sprint?!?! Whose idea was that?). But be sure that we will being seeing our wallets grow thinner as our phones continue to grow in what they are capable of. (Some type of Terminator reference might be appropriate here.)
Check out an article about it and the full press release at the bottom of the page. Google Wallet
I don't know about this. My luck with technology is good enough to do that. I would put my cards on, my phone would crash and somehow it would be impossible to know what happened to my cards so I would have to get all new ones or lose tickets. I like having real cash. Something about it make it feel real even though real money isn't even real. Sad, so very sad. Your Sis.
