Enterprises TV poses this question: when you are at the bank or in a checkout
line and you are entering your bank account's pin number on the key pad, you
wouldn't stand for someone sticking a camera over your hand and recording your
key strokes, would you? Well, the world
just got a little more complex, because now you have to worry about someone
wearing a Google Glass frame, as it too, can shoot video footage. We wouldn't think of someone's glasses
recording everything they're pointed at, but that's the point of Google
Glass. There are some paranoid
individuals who are using the system to record every encounter they have each
day, much like someone uses a dashboard camera to record everything that
happens in front of a car, in case it's ever needed for insurance or police
purposes.
Enterprises TV notes that our society isn't yet ready for a world where everyone around you could be recording.
The Enterprises TV show has some even worse news to
share: the perpetrator in the
above-mentioned scenario doesn't even need a clear look at the keypad. Software has been developed to map the
position of the victim's fingers according to the shadow they cast. The "key" to this technology is
that the keys on the pad are universally arranged the same way, so subtle clues
like shadows can tell a much bigger tale.
It's sad, but the dark side of technology is threatening every
convenient, time- and labor-saving invention we have thought of. If only there was technology that could put
evildoers in their place. Inventors,
there's your next challenge.
