As smartphones like those made by Apple and Google increasingly move toward biometric access, younger users lean on the convenience of a single tap or look, over traditional passcodes.
And with the option to store multiple fingerprints or facial appearances, couples are lending a finger for easing unlocking of their significant other’s device.
Experts caution the practice is risky.

https://www.cnbc.com/2018/10/09/cybersecurity-isnt-being-taken-seriously-enough-mit-professor.html

As the digital economy continues to grow, companies and individuals are not taking cybersecurity seriously enough, according to Erik Brynjolfsson, director at the MIT Initiative on the Digital Economy.
Combating cyber threats “boils down to prioritizing at a higher level,” Brynjolfsson said.
Some of the fixes are straightforward: For example, he said, two-factor authentication might prevent unauthorized logins and machine-readable paper ballots could make voting systems more secure.

although large numbers of routine jobs will be eliminated, large numbers of “empathetic” jobs will be created.

The latest update to Google’s Chrome browser automatically signs users in if they use any other Google services.
Although users still have to consent to have their Chrome data sent back to Google, privacy advocates see this as a breach of user trust.
Ultimately, this change more explicitly frames Google Chrome as another Google service, rather than as a neutral platform to surf the web.

FedEx’s executive VP Rajesh Subramaniam said Amazon’s new delivery service “should not be confused as competition with FedEx” during the company’s most recent earnings call on Monday.
This isn’t the first time FedEx downplayed Amazon’s logistics threat.
