Most of us carry more than one credit card, and those cards simply add up the thickness of your wallet or card holder. And of course, once a credit card expires, it’ll become another plastic waste, which disposing it may bring little harm to the environment. Here comes a conceptual device which aims to replace all your credit cards.
The all-in-one credit card device simply has one end with a memory card slot that allows you to insert a memory card that contains all your CC details. And it has a knob at the other end, which you can simply turn it to choose the wanted card to swipe. The display of the device reflects an identical copy of the front of a credit card, while the back has a magnetic strip that mimics the magnetic strip of a real CC.
The device is just a concept, quite a good idea to reduce plastic waste caused by trashing of CC. But the way of uploading CC details into the device via a memory card, may sound little unsecured. More effort should be put on the encryption of the data loaded on the memory card.
