Wallets will become relics. Just wave your phone near a point of sale terminal, enter your PIN code on the phone and your bank account will be debited. Or perhaps by then your phone will read your thumb print to verify your identity. When you shop, just wave your phone over the bar code on a product and see reviews and comparisons. As you approach your car, it senses your phone’s proximity and unlocks the doors nearest you and adjusts the seats for you. All of this technology already exists in some form, or will soon. In the future, the only computer you will ever need will be in your pocket. Scott Adams ☀
