Marty Mcfly's Back To The Future

It is important to note that the main applications of biometrics are utilized for preventing fraud and ensuring security. The use of biometrics has increased tremendously but so has social, ethical, privacy, practical and even political issues associated with it (Duquenoy, Jones & Blundell, 2008). Following is the detail regarding its ethical and privacy issue implications.

The thing with biometrics is that it works great only if the verifier can verify two things: Firstly, that the biometric to be used has come from the intended person at the time of verification, and Secondly, which the biometric should match with the master biometric entry in the file database. If the system can't do that, it can't work. Biometrics are good in uniquely identifying the people, butat the same time they are not secrets and cannot be trusted [1].

I concur with you on the use of biometrics by the government, and especially facial recognition to apprehend criminals. The recent rise in criminal cases can be halted if such a system is deployed. Biometrics can never go wrong and is in fact one of the most accurate ways of identifying people. If the government can be able to launch a system that can capture personal specifications, it can be really helpful.

The themes pioneered by the hero’s initiation pattern in Greek mythology have become ubiquitous over time, and still remain a staple in Hollywood cinema (Lecture, 5/4). Despite the drastic shift in time and cultural norms, these themes and motifs related to what it means to be a hero are still prominent within Back to the Future’s (Zemeckis, 1985) main protagonist, Marty McFly (Michael J. Fox). While the end of his quest does not necessarily deem him a king, he discovers something considered infinitely more powerful in 1980’s America, a sense of identity and a willingness to embrace what the future holds. Despite Marty McFly’s questionable fashion sense and wise-cracking nature, he is an ideal hero, immediately comparable to Homeric heroes

Biometrics is a method of identifying an individual based on characteristics that they possess, typically physiological features such as a fingerprint, hand, iris, retina, face, voice, and even DNA. Some methods of biometrics security even use multiple physiological features or multimodal biometrics to provide superior security than a single form of biometrics can provide. Why are biometrics important in the field of information security? Biometrics provide a remarkable amount of security for information because biometrics are unique to each person, and thus cannot be lost, copied, or shared with another individual. This security allows for biometrics to provide a means to reliability authenticate personnel. The importance of biometrics can be further divided into the history of biometrics and why it was devised, past implementations of biometrics, current implementations of biometrics, and future implementations of biometrics.

Biometric Authentication refers to the usage of software that looks for physical markers to allow access to a system. Some of the most commonly used physical markers are fingerprints, face-recognition, voice-recognition, and iris-recognition (Williams & Sawyer, 2015). As no two humans are exactly alike biometics are less likely to be hacked, although it is not impossible.

1989, the year Marty McFly went Back to the Future to 2015 and gave us a glimpse of what technology held for us. Well, here we are in 2015 and some predictions were right, others not so much. With these new technologies came consequences, consequences that even Doc Brown could not predict. Technological advances have obvious benefits, for example better security devices to keep people safe or medical advances that prolong lives and combat illness; however, these technologies can also have what is referred to as unintended consequences, those less obvious outcomes that cannot be seen during the initial onset of a technological advance such as creating power struggles and unduly influencing society. It is those consequences that appear after

Technology is always improving, and new software is always being developed. One of these new technologies that have been developed is biometrics. Biometrics is the process by which a person's unique physical and other traits are detected and recorded by an electronic device or system as means of confirming identity (Dictionary.com, 2013). In recent years, the FBI has employed new biometrics technology.

Movies or shows about time-travel are complicated, and never really make sense (I’m looking at you, Lost); Back to the Future guides us through potentially tricky subject matter by relying heavily – and very intelligently – on the tenets of classical narration listed above: Marty’s goals are very well-defined (to make sure his future parents meet, and then to get himself back to 1985); the chain of cause and effect is very clear: Doc Brown swindles plutonium from some Libyans → the Libyans, once they track down and shoot Doc, chase after Marty, Doc’s assistant → Marty tries to flee from the Libyans by speeding away in the DeLorean time machine that Doc has made → Marty hits 88 mph, sending him back to 1955, etc.

Ultimately all experts agreed that biometrics are superior to older methods of online identification. But experts question if this new technology is enhancing the customers experience. Experts debate these new features because they are more reliable than passwords but when hacked can give out more personal information. The social network for those in the IT industry Spiceworks says that 90% of companies will use biometrics by 2020.Companies like Microsoft and Facebook are already using this technology because it is a cheaper alternative than passwords. Passwords can get hacked, but are also easy to change, biometrics can be hacked, but users cannot change biometrics. Not only do hackers access your fingerprints, but they also have all of your online secured personal information. This advancement has proved to be beneficial for companies, but consumers are wary to give up this information. This is due to the fact the companies are selling this information to third parties without consent from the users. The European Union is addressing citizens' concerns mandating that companies give consent to customers. Hopefully other nations like the U.S. will adopt these laws to protect citizens. The article draws that biometrics can help companies get to really know their customers but customers no longer trust them because they have gone too

We live in a world today, in which technology moves at a very rapid pace. Many of these technological advances can be used to make our everyday lives easier and safer. One of these new technologies is Biometrics. Biometrics is the process of measuring a person’s physical properties. This would include measuring things like fingerprints, retinas, odor, vein structure on the back of the hand and many other things. Biometrics is a very important topic because it would create better security precautions for certain places that need to be secure. Biometrics will make our society safer by only allowing authorized people out of secure facilities and by keeping the unauthorized people out. Throughout the rest of this

The trilogy of Back to the futures show unique gadgets that are thought to be futuristic. This film used flying cars, time machines, and hoverboards to symbolize a futuristic neighborhood. In the movies the main characters use a time machine to jump to and from to past and future. They used advanced transportation as well as advanced everyday equipment. Watching these movies made me want to jump into the future and see what my neighborhood would look like. Sadly, I can only imagine what it would be like. My neighborhood of the future would be majorly developed in the technology field. Weather machines, advanced closets, and holograms would all be part of my futuristic neighborhood.

The “Back to the future” trilogy is by far my favorite of all time; especially the first one, that movie alone is on my Mount Rushmore of movies. The trilogy is about a teenager who accidently travels back in time prevents his parents from getting married which then prevents him from being born, so now he has to figure out a way to get back to the future and get his parents back together. The entire trilogy is great; even thought it has its bad moments, but hey, what trilogy does not? The series is a clever and fun string of movies that leaves you with a good feeling after watching them. Now with that being said, when you make a movie about time travel there are bound to be some mistakes and “Back to the future” is no exception. I can go

Improved accuracy and improved convenience are two of the biggest benefits of biometric technology for personal identification. First, unlike passwords or PIN numbers, which can be used by anyone who knows the required information, biometrics looks at a

Biometrics is used in many places and there is a bright future for them. Coca Cola has recently replaced time card system with hand scanning machines. Finger print scanners are being used in many states of the US. They have been used to trace social welfare fraud. An iris pattern identification system is being used in Cook County, Illinois to ensure that right people are released from jail. ATM machines have been installed with finger scanners to prevent theft and fraud in Indiana (Jain, 2005).
