Yay. Connecticut! My state. It would be a good backup in case I left my wallet at home. It happens.
Are you a male or female? Guys generally immediately know that their wallet is not in their pants, from how it feels. A woman has to look in her purse, I guess.
I’m male, and have forgotten my wallet countless times. Preposterous.
No, not preposterous at all. When I carried a wallet I could always feel it in my back pocket. The same is/was true for my cell phone which resided in my right front pocket -- if it wasn't there something felt wrong. But, now that I have an Apple Watch with LTE I carry my phone less and less -- so I do tend to forget it and lose it -- fortunately, so far the loss has been short lived and temporary.
Not everyone carries as much in their wallet (especially since Wallet can hold many, Sedona used cards, including memberships cards) and not everyone carries their wallet in their back pocket so it’s absolutely not preposterous to think that a made could forgot their wallet.
I carried as little as possible and used as thin a wallet as possible. But, regardless of which pocket used, something that was always there would, typically, be soon missed if it wasn't.
You're arguing that it's impossible to ever forget not having your wallet while also stating that it is was SOON MISSED. No one said they'd go all day without their wallet Missing it for even a short time means you've forgotten it.
I can't tell you how many times I'm forgotten my phone or sunglasses at a table, only remember them a few seconds after walking away. It happens, even if briefly
I love the idea. But as d-rey said, I can see this being used by the state's enforcers to persecute people even more than they already do. I'm sure it will be locked, but will Face ID still be active? They can point the phone at your face to unlock it, then rifle through your phone at their leisure. Have a pro-marijuana meme on your phone? Reasonable suspicion to search your car. Sent PayPal to somebody as "friends and family" when paying for a private sale? Tax evasion. Or they could just steal your phone and justify it as asset forfeiture because you "seemed suspicious."
And that's not even getting into the increasing use of technology to track and control people. Every automation that makes our lives easier also exposes us to control. Hold political opinions the state doesn't like? Well, let's just cut off access to your digital ID. Or bank accounts. I love technology. It's made our lives better. But the presence of sociopaths in positions of power makes this stuff potentially risky.
If you fear your government that much, perhaps you should change your government. That's the primary (perhaps the only) benefit of democracy -- and why we have to guard it so carefully.
