Using the index finger to pay for the food

This is good news for those who hated carrying bulky wallets filled with credit or debit cards. Modern ways of paying is just placing the finger on a fingerprint reader in the counter. From that action, the choices of checking, credit and debit card will be up to him. The transaction is then ended when he is given his receipt.

Biometrics. The future of financial and other transactions. Amazing, isn’t it? So movie makers were not doing something unthinkable when they created futuristic sci-fi movies. They were merely being ahead of the times and giving the people a synopsis of what is going to happen in the future. Hmm…maybe more respect will be given the directors and writers of this kind of movies.

The encoding of the information needed in biometrics, if ever used by the majority in the future, would need more modernized machineries if it becomes a hit in the market. This is like a modern way of printing in a sense that human characteristics are the ones printed on machines.

What about the blinds ones? The amputees? Maybe one of the developers will read this and will think about the persons that is lacking some physical attributes. Hmm…
