Apparently officials in Iowa, United States want to make it so that an app on your smart phone stores your drivers license (article). This would basically be making your smart phone, your personal identification, you would no longer have your ID card or drivers license any longer. I can see why there’s some movement to make this happen with everything being moved to digital. However, I don’t know that I feel comfortable having my primary personal identification as part of my smart phone.

Similarly, I find this idea a little bit too hazardous
Smartphones have been constantly the center of debates related to privacy and protection of personal data. If authorities will decide to implement copies of ID cards on a network, it will fuel even more people`s concern about the protection of their personal data
On the other hand, if authorities use the images recorded by smartphones, to capture drivers running from an accident, I think it`s a measure that can be easily accepted by people

I don’t think this will be a good idea. Phones are easily stolen or lost. It’s not very safe using it as an identification. Stealing someone’s identity will be one of the problems when the government start to do this.

There are few smartphones, such as the one created by Boeing, enhanced for self-destruction, but they are expensive, as consequence can`t be used by the majority of users worldwide
All in all, at this moment, we aren`t prepared for this revolution
