RE: Everyday Tech (2017-06-27) --- Everyday tech news and article extract!
Reading the one saying that passengers are happier interacting with technology than with people, i find it so sad. Technology is supposed to be a means to facilitate interactions and connections between people, but it seems that it's been working the other way round
I am half-half on that. I remember a few weeks (or months) ago I saw another article about an airline from some country (not sure if it's US or others) had some trial project to try using facial recognization to simplify the check-in process, which sounds good in my view (provided that all security issues are resolved).
Cant deny that technology brings us convenience, but i think it should be moderated. Over reliance is never doing good and there is always a negative feedback mechanism that drives the extreme back to normal. Not sure what negative feedback is going to do it, but it should be worried about anyway imo
wow that's a very brave approach! but what if they wear some fake masks like the thing that happens in Hollywood movies?
If i remember correctly, that's a trial scheme and just selected 10-ish passengers to join the experiment. Ya, for sure there would be a lot to think about, like as you said how if he or she wears something on face. But as tech becomes more advanced, i'm confident that those issues can be resolved at last. How do you think personal identification using AI?
Facial recognition is not really something new as it has been employed by cell phones we use now. But I'm not really sure if it'd work out to tackle serious issues like security checking for flights. The technology may be there, but there are always people trying to beat the technology in one way or another so it may not be safe to be put in place
