Going Walletless Apple Style

I thought this was funny. Yesterday I posted on how England was going to go towards your telephone being your official identification, then, today I read this article about how Apple has a patent that would allow you to travel (book flights, go through baggage checkes...) and pay for everything with your phone. Enjoy.

When I was talking about these things years ago, people disregarded it. They believed me, it was just that they thought we were talking about them coming in a decade. Nope, they are coming now. This is also why the poor in America are being given cell phones.

Look at the world around, take all the things that do not make common sense and see if you can find an answer that makes sense, connect the dots. Everytime you hear of a new cell phone, look at what the "improvement" is over past phones and look at what the failure was. Does anyone really believe that Apple could not have made a better mapping system for their new phone, that is Google's market. Monopolies are when companies give other companies specific areas for themselves. Google gets maps and Apple introduces the new technologies. Microsoft standardizes and spreads the technologies to the masses. Facebook is your primary social media over 1 Billion users.

If anyone would like to make a bet on the stock market, here is something to consider. If Apple is going to allow you to go walletless then all your Rewards cards will need to have an Apple Rewards App (Vons, Albertsons...). If the next IPhone does not have that app then Microsoft or Google will.
