There are several industries that are in the race to get moving on biometric implementation. The casinos mentioned the other day are just one, and they're a much newer contender.
Some of the elders with more of a lead in introducing new technology to their world would be industries like finance, including insurance.
Penny Gillespie, senior analyst at Forrester Research, explains that the use of an identifying and unique feature such as a thumbprint might be a replacement for a credit card when a consumer makes a retail online purchase.Banking's new frontier - paper checks are giving way to digital imaging, rapid processing and other innovations.
For online purchasers, computers could have a fingerprint reader attached as a peripheral, she said.
Will customers go along? That's the big question. John Herrera, an operations manager at Signature Reprographics in Sacramento, already has abandoned most check-writing in favor of electronic transactions.
"That's kind of weird," Herrera said, when asked about using his thumbprint. But, after a moment of reflection, he added that the idea might work.
