Future Login: The Odortype
I spend an inordinate amount of time logging into things. I spend extra time forgetting passwords and then logging into various email accounts to recover passwords. It’s so obviously stupid that it will obviously be evolved out of in a generation. But how? What replaces the login?
What I’m thinking is smell. I think the computer should smell me, know who I am and let me do my stuff. That is, rather than fingerprinting or whatever, to use a wireless seemingly invisible odortype. I think that’s what the cat does and he’s not insanely smart. Should be possible.
Good idea. But I don’t think it will work in Sri Lanka because a majority of the majority smell of kiribath and kola kenda. I’m afraid we will have to continue with the old fingerprint ID until people decide to change their diet.
You forgot the folks dripping with thala thel and a big dot on their foreheads.
He…he…he… Bonchi baba…
Me no Tamil…me no Sinhala Boobee either…me just want every mothers son and every mothers daughter born in this cunt ry to be treated equally.
Doesn’t matter what you are, can’t leave out the thala thel folks no?
But we’d smell different at different times of the day, and what about perfume and deodorant? What about the nature of our diet and (bad) habits like smoking? We’d have to carry around a pure sample of our personal essence I guess.
No, odortype login is not a good idea.
Shammi i suppose they can make a filter, that filters out the pure you from the you + goldleaf
They should make some personal filters too. They’d have a good market for them. :D
