I just rewatched Minority Report a couple weeks ago for some reason. There was this scene where Tom Cruise had to get a new set of eyes because he got automatically identified everywhere. Everyone in the movie was constantly bombarded with personalized ads everywhere they went.. That movie is over 20 years old and they knew exactly what was coming. Fucking scary shit...

Hello Mr. Yakamoto and welcome back to the GAP!

This already happens with bluetooth signatures to a degree, minus the personalized in your face ad

Dick was a terrible writer but a prophetic visionary with his ideas.

They already have certain things in some airports that scan you and tell you your boarding info on screens. These screens are designed to only be seen from the angle you’re at so it’s not too far a leap to imagine ads of the future using facial recognition with this technology
