Amazon shareholders reject facial recognition ban

What I really wanted was facial recognition in Google Glasses. I hate it when I am in the store and someone comes up and says Hi <name> hows the wife and kids, and I am like "who is this....". Would be great to say "Hey Bob, doing good" :)

I'm sitting here imagining a very distant future where the part of the brain that recognizes faces eventually becomes vestigial and we end up relying on technology to recognize the people in our lives.

Basically acquired prosopagnosia.

Almost feel like that's not so distant. Imagine how fewer people we would recognize if we weren't regularly pinged with an update about them or their picture scrolled passed on a device.

That sounds like the tech helping memorize faces, the exact opposite?

Soon you will also be able to see a rating next to their name showing their social credit score so you will know how much interacting with them will affect your score.
