Was just reading an article that India is doing the big brother thing in a major way. You cannot purchase anything, you cannot use government programs, you cannot take tests, it seems to be to the point you cannot do anything without some sort of bio scan. Once they perfect it, wonder how long it will be before being adopted by other countries, because big business and governments will be wanting this type of info.
Technology sure has advanced fast in our lifetime but it is still not perfect. The article said it took one individual four tries to get into the system. wonder what they would do if the system went down for days.

Seeking to build an identification system of unprecedented scope, India is scanning the fingerprints, eyes and faces of its 1.3 billion residents and connecting the data to everything from welfare benefits to mobile phones.
