But a lot of people are still carrying around something that tech companies would like to consign to history: wallets. Most of us now have access to an alternative to an old-fashioned wallet.

They all turn your smartphone (or certain smartwatches) into a mobile wallet, letting you pay for purchases without having to fish out a credit card or cash.
Tech clues that your spouse is cheating
If you’re worried that your spouse may be engaging in some less-than-desirable activities, their tech devices may be able to provide the clues you need to confirm your suspicions. While behavioral clues can be a challenge to prove, technology doesn’t lie.
How to organize your end-of-life plans
