Perhaps we will live to see just that, won't need your gate card because YOU will be scanned, my understanding is that in China you need to have a cel phone to travel, the government keeps track of you,, welcome to 1984

Actually I would like this if it put a lock on pool gates. Too many non-Villagers sneak in and use our pools. When the Rec person comes by (at specific times) they make sure they are in the water so they don’t have to show ID.

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.

There are people that don’t carry their phone with them everywhere? Why would anyone not take their phone with them?

I’ve downloaded the 3 apps that say Florida ID. All 3 want me to scan a QR code. My license doesn’t have a QR code

Has anyone been successful?

The Florida Smart ID page indicates that the app is not available yet.

To gather important feedback from the public and partners, the department is currently hosting Florida Smart ID pilot events with limited participants from across the state,

EDIT: Apparently the website is out of date and the app is available, at least for iphones.

I was talking in a general way about something that may or not happen ,but we have seen things that we have used in the past disappear , hotel keys, pay phones, can’t think of more now haven’t finished my first coffee.FYIi wouldn’t mind a chip with all my information on it, there are some people walking around now with one.A large part of my career around the world was in a general low tech period , I was always surprised at the large amount of information I could receive about government’s and the people living there , so I assume the government now knows pretty much everything about you or wouldn’t take long to find out , that’s why I never worry about government intrusion , it’s already here

I find it extremely liberating not to be tethered to an electronic device all the time. So many people are so addicted to their phones they often fail to see anything else going on around them. I only carry my phone if I am expecting a very important phone call and I will be in a situation where I can leave on the ringer and answer the phone without being rude to those around me. That is a rare occasion, there is very little that is so important to me that I need to be “on call”, I’m retired. And don’t get me going on the jerks that bring their phones golfing and leave their ringers on and pick up every call. The only reason I would ever bring my phone golfing would be to check the radar to see if lightning is approaching.

I haven’t had a wallet for maybe 30 years , carry money and take a credit card out of car when needed , I never bring a phone into a restaurant, theater, store or exercising inside or outside ,that’s what voicemail isn’t for . an exception would be coffee shop where I like to read things , but if I get a call I step away from people , it’s the polite thing to do .

Yes I would love it as I usually leave the house always with my phone and use Apple Pay so forget to take purse which contains everything else! 🤪

A Sunpass/EZ Pass device would be nice.

I'm giving you a "D" for punctuation. Throw in a period every once in a while so your reader can catch a breath, and identify one complete thought from the next.
