Your Wallet or Your Pocket PC?

Posted by Jon Westfall in "THOUGHT" @ 11:00 PM

Imagine for a moment that you've been attacked by a gang of vile criminals. They offer you the choice of having your wallet taken by force or your pocket pc. You can't fight them off, and they are "mean" looking enough that you believe they'll seperate you from your belongings. Which one do you give up?

Or perhaps I should phrase the question differently: Assuming the cost of the device is no issue (it's theft / loss insured), what is more valuable to you, your wallet or your Pocket PC?

The reason I ask was that I recently have the revelation that my most valuable daily-carry item was no longer my wallet. My wallet has largely become a vestige of the non-digital world. All the information in my wallet (i.e. credit card numbers, drivers license number) are in my eWallet on my device, and photo copied and stored at home. While I carry around some emergency cash in case I'm stranded somewhere that doesn't take credit cards or checks, the money isn't the issue - it's more the fact that I believe that losing my Pocket PC would be more of a headache than losing my wallet - a thought that 5 years ago I would have scoffed at! So what's more valuable to you, and are you suprised by your answer?
