This sample card 2.0 has a PIN requirement to activate the card and magnetic stripe info.

I don't know about you, but I've amassed quite a few plastic cards which I rotate in and out of the wallet. I hate walking around with a big fat wallet. I do not appreciate the bulge that it makes, or the fact that it presses up against psiatic nerves and can lead to some serious health problems. Just to name a few: I have my drivers license, my check card, credit card, club cards, gas card, Starbucks coffee card, rewards membership card, library card, movie rental card, etc. And I'm fairly certain there are those of you that try to carry them all in one wallet or your purse. Hopefully, there is one card that can replace them all.

Enter Dynamics Incorporated's Card 2.0. This is essentially a programmable card that is full of sophisticated electronics but yet looks and feels like a normal credit card at first glance. It can effectively program the magnetic stripe that is in the back of every single one of these cards by using a number of buttons on the card, which can allow you to switch between accounts, hide the account number, lock the card, possibly set account limits, etc.

It's also durable too. I saw it turned on, bent like a normal card, and then dunked into a glass of water, taken back out and activated.

I realize that there is some fairly advanced countries who have done away with these credit cards and membership cards and allow you to use the phone to make purchases and transactions. But until we reach that point or if we reach that point it is nice to know that we may have a viable alternative that will work with the old fashioned card readers, and ATM machines.
