I guess "it depends"...
My internet-connected smart phone allows me to pay securely for things, unlock the public city bikes for local transit, find quickly directions for a place, provide me answers to questions, read books at the cafe, etc...
All this without a single wallet or bag of "stuff" dangling over my shoulders.
Now... I don't have a facebook account ... YMMV ... :)

I keep critical stuff like payment methods separate and have no plans to stop carrying a wallet because of stuff like this.
- namaria 3y agoIt's amazing to me that people who work closely with software are happy to introduce a software powered single point of failure in their ability to function.
