Do you ever feel like you’ve been toting around the same archaic piece of plastic in your wallet for years, one that is both lackluster and susceptible to theft?

Well, a new credit card design aims to change how we see and use credit cards forever.

The next generation payment device coined “Dynamics Card 2.0” from you guessed it, Dynamics Inc., is a paper-thin, flexible computing platform that pretty much looks and acts just like a regular credit card.

The big difference is that the credit card contains an Electronic Stripe™, which the company claims is the world’s first fully card-programmable magnetic stripe that works at any existing point-of-sale (POS) magnetic stripe reader.

There are a few different versions of the card – one allows you to replace all the credit cards in your wallet by morphing into your personal credit card, a business credit card, or even your debit card.

Doesn’t seem like that big of a deal right? I mean credit cards don’t weigh that much…

But another version of “credit card 2.0” hides a portion of your credit card number, and only displays the full number on the front of the credit card once you enter a passcode on the card itself, a system that should greatly reduce fraud.

That version actually seems pretty groundbreaking.

Oh, and the device can last over three years on a single battery charge.

Should be interesting to see if it’s actually adopted by any of the top credit card issuers.
