Wireless Wallets? What can't we turn into electronic media..
Soon we'll be able to leave our house without our wallets. It'll be just one less thing we need to remember to bring when we go out. How about IDs? Will our plastic ID's always be plastic cards to carry around. I think it would be awesome to have one thing to worry about, but what are our consumer electronics limited to? Ten years from now, what will be the next big thing? So many questions to think about as our society becomes more technologically savvy everyday. Electronic wallets do lead to an interesting questions. Are they reliable? With all of the tech gurus out there can these cards be copied? Stealing a persons identity could be easier than ever. I think once these things become personalized they become very dangerous. While something like an electronic wallet can be creative and easier, the risks are still there. Beware users.

It is absolutely amazing how fast technology has been advancing recently with all those innovative consumer products being created. I definitely got excited about the idea of not having to carry my wallet anymore. I think mobile wallets would be very popular since they are more convenient and practical; you could purchase whatever you want without the need of carrying cash and at the same time it’s much quicker. Moreover, according to the article, it says that the transactions are similar to that of credit cards; meaning they are secured and private. Therefore, I think it would attract many consumers to adopt this new technology, because as long as it’s innovative and efficient, consumers will definitely want to buy it!
