Tell me the now administration isn't going to jump on this.
The ability of computers to identify faces has gotten 100 times better, a million times faster, and exponentially cheaper.
Facial recognition is already in some of our home appliances like TVs. In our mobile devices, PINs and passwords are giving way to faceprints. And the technology can single us out in real-time as we go about our daily business, often without us ever knowing. Joseph Atick: What's unique about face recognition is the fact that you can do it surreptitiously, from a distance, and continually.
Lesley Stahl: It can happen-- we don't even know.
Joseph Atick: That's the point.
An now mannequins! A few national chains are installing them with facial recognition as a way to covertly profile their customers. As for identifying us as individuals - well, several companies are working on it: like Hitachi of Japan, as seen in this online sales video:
Lesley Stahl: We used to worry about privacy on the web, now we have to worry about privacy just walking around.

A piece of black tape over the camera should solve that problem. I wonder how long before our laptops are programmed to submit our fingerprints from the keyboard?

I think the casino's in Vegas have been doing this for a long time. A known cheat comes into the casino, they do the facial recognition, and a couple of hurky old boys with muscles in their scat end up on each side of the perp, and his toes don't hit the floor on the way out the door.

For you younger guys, this may be a pretty cool thing. See a babe, download the app, take her photo and instantly know who she is and everything about her. Yep, this has possibilities...
