• Resumen

  • The march of technology may be about to change things. In the search for alternatives to passwords, Apple and other firms are turning to biometric technologies such as fingerprints to unlock the devices with which people access the web. Soon, it may not be possible to go online without at least telling one's device who he is. The end of anonymity on the web could be fast approaching, raising a host of questions about privacy, security and freedom. Here, Baraniuk examines what would happen when people can no longer hide who they are online.
