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.
