Have you ever been stopped and asked for some sort of identification, whether it is in a bar or when renting out a video, and not had one. Now this should never be a problem again. There are three forms of identification: a passport, drivers license and Social security card. Laura Richardson, from the design firm Frog, is developing the Troika; an aluminum Social Security card with a multifunctional SCREEN! Richardson says, "By combing the familiarity and proportions of a standard ID card with the durability of a water resistant, flexible screen and the security of biometrics, [ a card like this ] could revolutionize the future of identification.". This is only a concept design at the moment for now there are some very interesting ideas that are supposed to be applied to this. It is supposed to have a thumbprint reader/thumbprint storage pad to be scanned by a reader, a changing screen, Buttons that change the screen from Social Security to Drivers license picture, a protective rim and an aluminum body. If this comes to fruition It will surely make the whole ID process at airports and government sites easier and more efficient.
