Frustrated customers must learn not to shout, else they will get even
poorer service.
They are also rolling out touch id. You can put your fingerprint on to
your smart phone and be recognised as Joe Bloggs.
I wonder how long it will be before someone comes up with a piece of
software which spoofs them...:-) .
There will be additional id. security checks of course, d.o.b. mummy's
maiden name, favourite pet dog, hobby and place of birth.
The only way to solve the problem of id. in my view, is to use what I
call the Shylock method...cut off a bit of ones own flesh and use that
as an identifier. It has the merit that it doesn't last long, so the
flesh has to be replaced every so often. Mind you with recent
developments in stem cell technology and human body replacement
techniques, that method may soon be out of date. The next stage will be
a fully certified clone, and the final solution of course, will be the
whole of the human body used as identifiers, which we will have to
present in person to the bank...:-). Back to the good ole days of bank
managers and physical customers...:-) .
