Mobile Phone Will Replace Your Wallet?

Yeah, I don’t think so.  CNN published an article about cell phones replacing the need for your wallet or car keys.  Sounds awesome, right?  Well,  imagine what would happen if your phone was stolen.  It has happened to me before!  So now, you can’t get into your car.  You can’t pay for a taxi ride home, and now, you can’t even call anyone for help or call the bank to put a freeze on the chip number associated with your account.  What else could go wrong?  Thank goodness your cell phone isn’t used as a heart monitor or an insulin pump.paypergsmchip

I can appreciate simplicity.  With such complicated lifestyles, I love to be able to find everything all in one place (thus my love/hate relationship with Wal-Mart) but I can’t have all of my lifelines all in one spot to be destroyed by a soda that fell over or that millionth crack on the pavement that finally did it in.  Stealing from me is never a good idea but I think stealing the way into my car, my bank account, and my personal life via my cell phone might get me a prison sentence if I find the person who did it.  I am relentless.  I once chased down two pick-pockets who stole my Visa card and $90 cash in downtown Baltimore, drunk, barefoot, and carrying my heels, all the meanwhile screaming and crying that they stole my money.  They dipped around a corner and got away but I made sure every Baltimoron on that street knew that I was not one to be reckoned with!  There’s a reason my nickname is “Two Guns.”  Some day, I’ll tell you why.
