The concept of a single card containing all personal, medical, and financial data was viewed as a utopian convenience in the 1980s. References were made to AT&T's "You Will" commercials featuring Tom Selleck, which predicted mobile computing and remote communication. However, the modern reality of data tracking has shifted public perception toward the dystopian surveillance themes found in George Orwell's 1984.
