How many things do we do without doing them as we did them?
I wonder if we can really continue to think that “something has changed”. Has something changed? I don’t want to be an extremist, sure it is. But I also feel lucky: I can still walk down the street, do the shopping, go to work. And my whole life, as I imagine yours, has adapted to the mask: the only thing I feel I can thank for, even when I want to curse it for not breathing.
Even Apple has understood this: it has to do everything to make us keep it, thus helping us protect each other. When you’re on the subway and your phone won’t unlock, you don’t think about it – you take it down. Because your brain is used to the fact that there are no global pandemics and unlocking the iPhone with facial recognition is too convenient, it saves you those two seconds (which now in 2021 seem dilated in minutes) of manually typing the code.
The new iOS 14.5 operating system has adapted to the pandemic, as do the sheets when you place them on the bed and take the shape of the mattress. IOS takes the shape of the current moment: does technology do this right? From the moment we live it extrapolates needs and questions and poof, it gives an answer: comfortable, fast, intuitive more than we could imagine. Now facial recognition is also possible with the mask, so, on the subway and in the crowd, we no longer have to put ourselves at risk.
On the one hand, it seems incredible to me, I say to myself “man, creepy. How many frightening advances technology is making in such a short time“. They only recognize us by the eyes, do you understand? On the other hand, I breathe a sigh of relief and I think that innovation is really in step with the times and suddenly I seem to see a different technology from the scary one of Black Mirror, more similar to a woman who is doing everything possible to help us. to live.
The last thing I think is that those phones are lucky to see all your eyes.
