In a world where we can put a man on the moon and destroy towns with laser guided missiles, it’s hard to believe that some aspects of society are still stuck in the past. Brett Ellis, a teacher, recently shared his frustrations with outdated security measures in a humorous and relatable way.
From the lackluster security measures at hospitals to the never-ending checkboxes on online platforms, Ellis highlights the absurdity of some security features. Whether it’s trying to prove you’re not a robot by ticking a box or struggling to decipher which squares contain a bike in a security challenge, Ellis humorously navigates the pitfalls of modern security protocols.
Despite the frustrations, Ellis acknowledges that some security features, like fingerprint technology, do work well. He reminisces about the old days of banking security, with strange code generator machines and actual human tellers at branches.
In the end, Ellis reminds us to appreciate the progress we’ve made as a society, even if it means dealing with cumbersome and frustrating security measures along the way. So next time you’re asked to tick a box to prove you’re human, just remember: it’s all part of the fun of living in 2024.
