Security

I was thinking about security today, and how reliant it has become on technology. In my law class we watched a video of three scam artists and how they robbed a bank. The security cameras were in place, but that did not stop them from stealing a $35,000 rolex. We are rolling in to an age where almost everything is connected to the internet. Online security will become a huge industry of it's own in the future. The current security systems rely on complex mathematical algorithms to encrypt data. This will only go so far. we need a better way to defend our privacy. You need something that can be transfered to other people, but can not be just simply guessed. A method of protecting your computer that I thought of is that a mechanical trigger would begin any downloads, to ensure a safe computer. also, a fake projection of the computer could be used to download the file and check for damage. I will think on this further.
