my god i've never read such a load of cow dung in my life. that was the ramblings of someone who believes he is right and tries to convince people he is right with big words.

i'm sure in your mind your opinion is right but others may see things differently. your post though long had no real point. you spoke of data mining and humiliation in the face of having data been stored about you. and how google and facebook contribute to the data storing monster. the world is full of technology and although you did mention it you failed to state that you can live without any social media or technology contact. don't log on to facebook don't use an e mail don't set up any accounts of any kind. we live in a technology filled world. technology makes things easier. While we are one the technology subject do you think cars are evil too or how about running water or a toilet or a bed cus its all called modern technology answer me this "anybody" could you honestly last one day without the basic technology of today. most of us would not last past a few days after running out of tinned beans

Define "technology of the day" ?

If you want to compare the likes of Facebook etc and their impact on society with the basic function of a toilet then this quote .....

Perfecly applies to your own post i think

the world as we know it is all technology. yes a computer is classed as technology but a basic toilet or what we call basic is also technology. 500 years ago it would have been called witchcraft. swirling water in a porcelain bowl get the stake ready and light the torches lets start the witch hunt. running water plastic bottles tinned food glass windows its all technology it might not have a microchip or a plasma screen but technology none the less and my point weisses was that the people giving out about facial recognition and the dome of the world because of technology are the very ones using it all the time so they are hypocrites, stop the plunder of our freedom stop the spread of global technology but wait i still want my frothy mocha in the morning, after i check my facebook status on my i phone while sitting on the crapper. see where i'm going with this. technology is all around us it is inescapable so deal with it or go live with the Amish

So basically your saying that if i have a big problem with the likes of Google, Facebook, every social media for that part and don't really like myself to be stored in databases all over the world i also should stay away from solar panels and all other technology used to better my own way of life just because its called technology ???? If you can't distinguish the different kinds of technology and its use then by all means use it all ... But saying that not wanting a Facebook account should result in me or anyone joining the Amish is a load off bull**** ... Technology is there to use it when you want but not to be forced upon you or to (maybe) be used against you later at the discretion of whoever decides it

36 million images per second would be the equivalent of scanning the entire population of the USA in 8.3 seconds or Europe in 20.2 seconds

"A new camera technology from Hitachi Hokusai Electric can scan days of camera footage instantly, and find any face which has EVER walked past it.

The ‘trick’ is that the camera ‘processes’ faces as it records, so that all faces which pass in front of it are recorded and stored instantly. Faces are stored as a searchable ‘biometric’ record, storing the unique....

There would be huge limitations to this system.
Typically, computer vision records faces based on the ratio of distances between key points, eg. the left and right edges of each eye, position of nose and mouth, and their sizes & distance relative to each other.

This is typically only accurate if you have a good resolution front facing shot of someone. Picking out faces in a crowd probably wouldn't work as their faces would be too small from a distance and that would introduce a lot more
errors in measuring their faces.

So, for each face that was "scanned" properly, a set of numeric ratios would be stored in a database. They might be able to scan in a new face at say 10 faces a second on a decent PC.
The 36 million faces a second metric, probably relates to comparing the new faces against a database of pre-scanned faces.
So it's a relatively straightforward database lookup against a table of numbers.

Even so, that doesn't mean it will return a unique record.
It's more likely you'd get back at least thousands of false positives all ranking in descending order of probability of being the correct face.

So this technology would probably only work in a nice controlled environment, like a police mugshot photo or airport security desk were lighting and face positions are predictable.

It can probably be programmed to have "watch lists" of faces, and if someone walks up to a security desk and their face resembles a terrorist then it will trigger an alarm.

when is technology used against you. and who is the person deciding when to do it. i think that these days there are far to many people willing to freak over the smallest things. i;m glad you also mentioned using the technology you want. yes you can do that don't use facebook don't use a debit card or a mobile phone but don't be a hypocrite and say that these technologies are been forced upon us but yet you still use them. have you heard of the saying practice what you preach

Different technologies ... different uses

Learn the difference and we talk further

The CCTV system can be set up and used in conjunction with other forms of scanning technology to assist the authorities get a more positive identification on an individual. such as picking up their mobiile phone signal in the proximity. I already posted a thread about the Broadcom 4752 chip that can pinpoing individuals to within centemetres.
