Forget Your Wallet
Monday, Jan 28, 2002
Check out your keyring. Besides having twice as many keys as you use on any given day (if you're anything like me), you probably have one or two 'club cards' from the supermarket, pet store, or video rental chateau of choice.

Why stop there? With all the different ways credit card companies are trying to squeeze a buck, a little innovation, or anything that sets them apart from the other guys, how long will it be before we have keyring credit cards?

Just as important, how 'bout the drivers license? If they're to be our 'national identification cards' then the least they can do is make them smaller (as an option).

A few keys, a keyring credit card and a keychain drivers license, and you can leave your wallet at home. Lighter, safer, easier. Then of course there's the problems of digital cash, but I can keep money in my pocket. I don't need a mini-leather-organizer for that.

I'll take my driver's license to go, please.
I want one of these...

If you like it, please share it.
