How much of our lives is spent filling out forms? They usually ask for the same data (much of it unchanging) for a lifetime.

So: this: Each of us may acquire a single-purpose, secure personal-storage device we can easily backup (but with a different key). A query from some org will ask for a list of particulars. If a particular is already on the device, it may be routinely added to the output queue, else it asks us if we wish it to be queued. We can choose to add a missing particular, or edit an existing one. Click, click, gone, done. A particular which requires an official confirmation (e.g. birth certificate) will include a DOI. Org must swap-certify with issueing agency. (It's not my account number.)

Etc. etc. If it does not recognize our voice input on insertion (or detects a rubber hose), it warns the carrier, signals Skynet, then bursts into flames.

The open source password manager I use, Bitwarden, is great for this. I can create an “identity” with tons of information and it will auto-fill any form. It works with credit cards as well.

I had this idea as I was filling in my kids doctors forms for the 10th time. If has to capture the paper page, read the text, and at the min let me drag a drop down menu of my own and families info.

Storing the info isn't enough, and forcing every business to adopt the same specification is unrealistic. I think only my high tech dentist has anything digital.
