After the my last click back, I was just thinking about the mass marketing that we all know and love. Think about the possabilites(umm.... drawbacks, rather..) for user-oriented spam.
If the cards will move up from being just and ID to an all-in-one id/credit card/etc (think moores law here..)
Go to a bar, swipe your card, go home, and have fresh spam waiting with advertisements for asprin.
Just a thought...:)
Would be nice to have an all-in-one card, wouldn't it? But I tend to lean more to a previous post about the conserns about copied/fake cards. Unless finger print scanning or some other static security features can be implemented, I don't believe that this is the way to go. Would kinda suck to loose your wallet now, eh?
