Could snap the other way too with some leftists taking over and instituting ubiquitous tracking
That is also a possibility.
What is great about the future is that while some have the ability to spot trends and see where they might take us (and some being more successful then others) it remains for the most part unpredictable. There is always that random event that changes everything.
The more advanced technology gets, the easier it will be to throw sand in the gears so to speak.
I wonder how a guerrilla war would be fought with one side having the technology and the other side having the support of the people?
Amazon has a small number of Amazon Go stores. I have used them, and they are incredible and I hope they are everywhere in ten years.
that is irrelevant to identity by fingerprind recognition
Your right hand of course, unless you’d prefer your forehead.
I check my bills. I just went over them this morning. Oddly, everything is A-OK.
Point being: if you want to use a credit card...increasingly you will be asked to use an ID. I have zero problem pressing a button on my iPhone.
It is changing to facial recognition. How big a deal is it? Well, I watched film on how to do facial recognition. The women merely LOOKED DOWN at the iPhone she was holding in her hand by her purse also in her hand.
No weird posture or formal stance. Just look TOWARDS your phone. You DO NOT have to bring your hand up to a certain level, it was done. Just look down at the phone in your hand.
I can tell you honestly. Putting my thumb on the phone button for about 3 seconds [my thumbs are worn down too after 70 years] ... sooooo much faster than pulling out any credit card or license.
So much faster.
I used to be paranoid about that.
When you buy a cellphone ...you use your thumb to get into it. They have you do it when you buy the phone. THAT, MY FRIENDS IS WHEN YOU SHOULD COMPLAIN!
When you buy your newer cellphone, you are going to be asked to look toward your phone. What your phone sees on your day of purchase is how the phone identifies you.
if you don’t like it ...or don’t want to participate, why are you buying a phone? You have to use your fingerprint to get access to your iPhone. Your next iPhone uses your face.
What is the fracking difference? you use your fingerprint to get into your iPhone now ...but you will refuse to use same fingerprint to use your card.
Sheesh!
Yeah, that’s not going to happen.
Yep, it surely is coming.
I have no doubt it’s coming.
I just have no plans to be part of it.
Revelation 14: 9-11:
Then a third angel followed them, saying with a loud voice, “If anyone worships the beast and his image, and receives his mark on his forehead or on his hand, he himself shall also drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is poured out full strength into the cup of His indignation. He shall be tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy angels and in the presence of the Lamb. And the smoke of their torment ascends forever and ever; and they have no rest day or night, who worship the beast and his image, and whoever receives the mark of his name.”
I have predicted that people will be using Amazon Prime to send each other gifts when the Two Witnesses are murdered. They’ll need next-day delivery because they’re only going to have three and a half days to party.
Maybe this hand ID will help them speed up shipment.
I'd be telling my friends and relatives to read/listen to the Book of Revelation. Revelation 1:1 The revelation from Jesus Christ, which God gave him to show his servants what must soon take place. He made it known by sending his angel to his servant John
Besides it is the only Book in the Bible that promises us blessings if we read/listen to it. Count me in!
That is hilarious.
Is that your little one?
Nope, not mine. I found it somewhere on the Internet. Saved it, because I thought it might come in handy for situations like this.
“No, I didn’t want to do this but it’s so much easier and faster.”
Which in the end is how everyone will get screwed.
ICYMI
I do not agree.
Personally I appreciate they check that I am the one using my credit card. Luddites will lag behind.
This won’t stop at biometrics and facial recognition. Elon Musk wants to chip your brain. They want to own...you! And eventually, it’s all headed in the direction of Revelation 13.
“Silicon Valley’s final frontier? ‘The neoliberal takeover of the human body’”
(snip)…”The neoliberal takeover of the human body’
“Every technological necessity exists in the real world and is used commercially,” Sinnreich said. “It just hasn’t all been integrated into one biometric-payment method yet because it would creep people out.” He said it’s Silicon Valley’s end game: “It’s the neoliberal takeover of the human body.”...”
[“It just hasn’t all been integrated into one biometric-payment method yet because it would creep people out.”]
Oh, I’m sure.
