The Dawning of the Biometric Age - BusinessWeek
Business Week reports: "In baby steps and giant leaps, the world is moving further into digital identification and biometrics. The new technology raises concerns about privacy, of course, as well as opportunities for security companies."
Comment: Not the mark, but the trend is toward greater use of biometric identification technology in more and more areas of society. It's a trend worth keeping an eye on.

Biometrics are fine for limited systems, but not as an identifier for a global payment system that will be the only legal tender. Biometrics promise some very scary surveillance, but it's only a rehearsal for the Mark of the Beast. Read my free e-book Walkabout: The History of a Brief Century for a banker's view of how it could actually happen!
Robert, thank you for your comment. I do agree with you, and since I'm aware that many people are quick to jump to conclusions, I always try to point out that the technology being reported on is not the mark, we are just watching the trends. We need have no fear of getting a biometric passport or drivers license, at least, not in terms of the MOTB.
