But as someone mentioned - everyone involved in tracking and targeted advertising definitely will rub his hands. And what about security? If someone steal my id I would be lost. Having such ID is the same like having one plastic ID card - including your pass, driving license, all credit cards, home/car keys, finger prints, etc. How many from you agree to switch to such card? Can you imagine what will happen if you lose this card? Actually your personality for all people except family/friends will be lost. It is scaring. I am not against new technologies, just for their proper and meaningful usage. Right, it is convenient to have one login instead 50.
