Purchases

I would love it if there would be a way developed that would make it possible for me to make purchases just by having a machine scan my eye or hand print. I think this would not only cut down on identity theft but also just theft in general. It would be great to go to Wal-Mart and not have to worry that my purse, with all my money, debit cards and credit cards, will be stolen. The one thing that I hate about going on vacation is I have a fear of leaving my purse in the hotel room ( I guess I have seen one to many Datelines) fear that the cleaning people will steal from me, so therefore I am left packing around a heavy purse all day.

Personal Information

Personally I would not be comfortable knowing that all my information would be stored on the internet for everyone to see. There are too many people who would use the information in a negative way. Identity theft would definitely go up. People would have access to everything about you including your home address, place of employment, marital status and yearly income. I would not feel safe knowing that a random stranger could find my information and if he/she chose to, could pull up map quest and find my home. The only benefit that I could see would be for business' such as loan companies and future employers to have access to certain information for verification purposes only.
