Ladies & gentlemen, start your engines.

Further to my post about biometric visas, I see that Germany is the latest country to start issuing biometric passports:

"The new passport, valid for 10 years, will include an embedded RFID (radio frequency identification chip) that will initially store a digital photo of the passport holder's face. Starting in March 2007, the holder's left and right index fingerprints will also be stored on the chip." pcworld

I keep seeing businesses around that are so not prepared for engaging the future, like the 1 hour photo stores I spoke about earlier. Businesses that are so rooted to the past, that have no idea about the present. Let alone the future.

Do you, dear reader, have any examples?
