2025:
It is the year 2025, and biometrics have come a long way. Uses for biometrics now range from employee verification to e-commerce.
Voice biometrics and hand geometry recognition systems are used for employees to clock-in at work. No longer can employees clock-in for other employees. Biometrics are also used in e-business for secure payment. At dance and night clubs, biometrics act as a sort of virtual bouncer to keep out unruly patrons.
Biometrics have become an integral part of life. We see the effects of retinal scanning, hand geometry recognition, and voice biometrics in our homes, businesses, employment, and entertainment.
