So the Pimpernel has been talking about how you will need to be biometrically identified to use the internet in the future and you may think this is decades rather than months away, well, guess again.
ReadWrite Play - Microsoft Wants To Turn Xbox 360 Kinect Into Big Brother!
The article states the Microsoft has applied for a patent that would allow Xbox (the videogame machine) to use kinect (hardware that watches you and responds to your moves allowing you to play games with just your movement) to count the number of people in your room watching a movie and charge you per person. It can also identify the people in the room. Not only that; but, it will know the age of the people in the room and keep out age inappropriate content, no porn for your kids.
Haven't I been talking about this for years? This is real and you are going to pay for the privilege of being watched. Next up will be voice recognition being used to interact with video game characters who will respond to what you say. We do not live in the Matrix, we are building it so that we can live in it.
