Last I checked making a statement stating that you're confused about something counts, semantically, as a question. No question mark needed.
But, fine, if you don't want to tell me you don't have to. I'm able to contain my curiosity. Certainly can't put my ID, driver's license, cash, and a hair tie into my phone. Nor, for that matter, put my phone into an ATM.
I can store my government issued ID, a driver's licence, store limited cash behind my phone cover. And do cardless withdrawal from ATM if I need more. I have not needed a hair tie but if I did I'd wrap it on my wrist. Have not carried a wallet in years.
Everyone's circumstances are different.
As of last month, I can now, in fact, store my driver's license on my phone. Can't wait to use it for nights out with friends, no risk of losing my purse and the app even hides your address unless you specifically allow it, so no skeevy bartenders can read my address when they "card" me :)
