Laughing. I never forget my wallet—if it’s not in my pocket, I don’t feel quite dressed—but the phone only rings a couple times a week, so I rarely remember to take it.
What we need is a little implantable chip like lots of pets have. Cops, stores, guardhouses, hospitals, TSA agents at airports, etc., would hold a scanner to our arm and see our driver’s license, ID, criminal record, medical record, DNR, power of attorney, who to call, pets that need to be cared for in an emergency, credit cards, etc. then if you left your wallet at home when you went to the pool, you could be arrested or have a medical emergency without a problem. If you can’t remember where you live, you can be taken to the nearest animal shelter or returned to your owner! (Joking)
And while the state is getting so new-fangled, why not have an official vaccination certificate on our phone? After all, 90% of the residents of The Villages have been vaccinated, I read.
HOWEVER: If you click on the web site given above and read the information, you may notice this sentence at the bottom of the page: “It does not replace the physical driver license, which will still need to be carried when operating a motor vehicle.” So if you drive to the pool, you will still need your wallet. But maybe this will be a valid ID for voting. |
