Forget About Debit & Credit Cards...

We could soon be paying for shopping using just our FACES with recognition software set to replace bank cards
By Victoria Woollaston | The Daily Mail

"The system doesn’t require a wallet, bank card or phone - instead a camera is positioned at the checkout and takes a photo of a shopper's face when they are ready to pay.... It then scans a database for the face and matches it to stored payment details in order to complete the transaction."


Think about it. No one can steal one's debit nor credit card ever again. In the not so distant future all one needs to do is walk up to an ATM or cashier and enter the amount they want. One may leave home and forget their cards, but one could never forget to leave their face at home :-)

I can see a day when one clocks into work simply by entering the lobby. No longer could someone fraudulently clock themselves or someone else in. Further apply this to red light cameras, E-Zpass and traffic stops which could positively identify the actual driver who might have misplaced his/hers driver's license or was trying to BS a cop. Imagine how a stolen concert ticket would no longer have value. A way to pay for parking. Logging on to a computer. It could be used to positively identity someone commenting or using a social internet site seeking to hook up. etc., etc., etc.

The list of possibilities are endless. Some may good. Maybe some, not so much.
