The one complaint I would have about Manuâs great digitisation project (because thank goodness most of it has been incredibly successful) is that things are still very disjointed. I donât want a carte vitale app, I already have an Ameli app. Iâm not clogging up my devices with a billion apps, Iâve been there, done that, as I suspect most people with smartphones have, but then after a while you end up pairing things down to things you actually use. Surely they could work with the existing app and add the functionality to that. Itâs the same with websites, so many addresses, so many logins, so many different things in different places. Obviously France Connect helps bypass the logins, but itâs all so disjointed.
Sorry, rant over.
Of course, not everyone has a mobile phone⊠let alone one which will take the necessary AppâŠ
Thus, I canât see the actual CV being tossed on the rubbish heap⊠not just yetâŠ
like to see my MT get my smartphone into his card reader - should be a real tonic when youâre feeling a bit down
I suppose my CV could migrate into someoneâs smartphone, but it wonât be mine because I donât have one. No doubt there are a few million others like myself, so although the App might run alongside the traditional CV, it certainly wonât be replacing it anytime in the next 20 years or more.
Sounds good, I will embrace the change.
I think itâs a cunning plan to kill of Luddites
Good! The sooner the better!
Some these days regard it as a badge of honour to perversely go on about not needing a smart phone. Hell, only yesterday, I was again held up in a checkout line by a seemingly luddite old lady going through the ritual of paying by cheque, then, half way through the performance, her phone rang and of course that held us up even more as no way was she going to miss the callâŠ
Her phone? It was an iphone 12
It can be plain vanilla. It can be platinum/diamond studded from Tiffany - it could be flat.
Of course, thereâs a lot of stuff and nonsense spluttered about mobile phones⊠and some even think everyone should have oneâŠ
Thatâs at least 2 of us then Robert.
And to @John_Scully & @Adam1 , if we were luddites we would be going round smashing up smart phones, and have absolutely no time to do anything else, including eating and sleeping.

I we ever get anywhere near the banging on about how many things their smart phones can do by those who have them, your comment might be valid.
I am all right Jack.
what happens to those of us who do not have smart phones?
Until the world no longer has folk who are unable to deal with modern technology (for whatever reason)⊠there will always be âthe ordinary wayâ to do things⊠and for some folk, even that way will need to be carefully administered/organized.
In todayâs world, while encouraging modern technology, France leaves the ordinary way⊠available⊠for those who need it (for whatever reasonâŠ)
And it needs to be, Not every one is a brain box kid. We can slow down just a littleâŠmaybe the world will be a better place if we do.
Everyone should have a smart phone, not me I have a computer for those things that are done on line .I have a telephone portable because I receive most messages in text form because I am hard of hearing .I donât need a smartphone, luddite no I just donât have a use for one.I should add that instead of moaning at the client moan at the shop for not opening enough tills!
The point is of course that the ordinary way will become the extraordinary way. Itâs semantics somewhat of course but just as nobody would consider signing the receipt for a debit card transaction to be âthe ordinary wayâ anymore, it once of course was. For those unable to use chip and pin there is still the option of chip and sig, but it is a niche service that you have to specifically request with a valid reason. So with Carte Vitales, there will likely always be a physical card, but it will likely become a niche for those few who specifically need one. This place is perhaps skewed slightly given the membership but if (and of course it is if) stopping producing physical cards for all at some point in the future (and Iâd expect that to be more like 5, 10 years max, not the ludicrous suggestion of over 20) is shown to save money and be more environmentally friendly Iâd expect it to be warmly adopted by most⊠although of course this is France so itâs just as possible people will be in the streets burning cars and delivering dung to the CPAM offices in protest
Yes, I know the term is misused David. However, like it or not, more and more revolves around them these days. Iâm my 84 year old neighbourâs tech support department. Heâs delighted with his, especially the facial recognition and navigation capabilities when heâs on manoeuvres.
What do folks in very rural areas do?, many have very poor internet & mobile phone coverage so itâs not always possible to use the endless appâs. even if they wanted to! With the continual threats of electricity outages, youâd think it would be wiser to not just rely on one way of doing thingsđ€
Generally we like technology, we like new things, I donât think we are neophobes to the extent âles anglaisâ seem to be, or at least not in the same way. Having your CV on your telephone isnât seen as a bad thing unlike eg self scan tills which take peopleâs jobs and stop human interaction.
Of course âles anglaisâ like them but thatâs because speaking to anyone is too embarrassing and they hate it
Of course this is blanket stereotyping and I am saying âles anglaisâ deliberately and without any intent to offend.
