Gen Z Has Spoken - Wallets Are Uncool. Go Digital!
Brian adds that the shift in behavior is a reflection of how far mobile wallets have come. About a decade ago, when he covered emerging mobile payment apps, most people shrugged at the technology because tapping a phone on a scanner was no more convenient than swiping a credit card. In recent years, though, amid a global pandemic that drove people towards contact free payments, Apple and Google expanded their software to support digitized driver's license and transit cards, a perfect storm that made mobile wallets more useful

It doesn't have, you know, the cloud super lock, but there's, in there, there's even more innovations that happen during COVID-19 for contactless payments. For example, you can buy a jacket right now that serves as a smart device hub that you're wearing that has in the wrist an actual NFC scan point that you just put your risk out and buy something in the store

Anyway, I was used to watching my DVD's on my entertainment laptop. And when I upgraded the laptop, it no longer played DVD's. This was something that was not advertised to us. And maybe people read fine print or maybe they know, but I didn't know. I and other people didn't know that if you had the laptops that had the DVD players, that it wouldn't work anymore if you upgraded

I do still carry a physical wallet because all of my cards are not digital. My insurance card has not become digital yet. Certain store credit cards that I use are not digital. So I still have use for a wallet. I can't say that I carry a lot of cash in my wallet, but I do carry my driver's license and other cards that are not digital. So I love it
