"What if there's no electricity!!!"
"What if there's no roads!!!"
What if's can be used to kill a conversation or discussion because they are impossible to argue.
"If there's no Electricity i'll just use my diesel generator to power the store. WhAt if YoU ForgoTT to FueL IT?!". There is no discussion to be had because one side is not interested in it.
What you should be asking is What is plausible.
IS it plausible that you buy a phone that doesn't support the app?
No, there's two OS's for mobile phones. They will have an app you can pay with.
IS it plausible you forgot your phone or it got stolen?
Yes. But you are just as likely to have your wallet stolen. So its not really applicable.
"How are you allowed to function if the app is missing?" Is an illogical question.
The apps already exists in several countries and works flawlessly.
- ThunderSizzle 16d agoStrawman, but you raise a good point. Credit card terminals can still work in certain disaster situations more reliably than trying to get everyone to not lose their phones and keeping them charged and wasting precious energy on a transaction. A credit card doesn't require electricity, and even the classical process of carbon copying can work without power or internet to the pos (though that has its own problems - but we're talking "disasters") Regardless, a person not having a smart phone should not be grounds of exclusion from society. It's too vulnerable of a device for it to be a single point of failure. It already is too critical of a device even for those that have one, that losing it is already a very big burden. Even just switching to a new phone via the migration process on Android can still be a burden.
