We need less of our lives to enter the digital realm, not more.

  1. Again, that's your opinion, others like me disagree. Either cover WHY you think that is true you are sort of saying "I don't like it and I don't have a reason" 2. This is about the smallest imaginable amount of your life being added to the digital realm. All the data in question is ALREADY in there, on government computers when you get a paper passport and that is what is actually used at border crossings. No one cares about the paper passport except as a receipt for a DB entry. So nothing is actually being moved digital. We are just turning off some printers...

    That official identity documents requiring a smartphone is the "smallest imaginable amount" is questionable. With this proposal I can not even go on vacation without a smartphone. Maybe I am old-fashioned, but I still think humans should be able to do basic life actions without a smartphone.

      Right not you cannot go on vacation without having all your info on a government DB shared with 100 other governments. In future the same will be true but instead of a paper receipt you will get one on an app. That is all that is changing. And you can still do all this with your paper work. It will just take longer, and be more expensive and if you lose it you're screwed.
