Open Sesame!!
The internet has provided the ordinary person an opportunity to go beyond the everyday hum drum existance to create a world that is beyond the reaches of modern physics. The identiy of scrawny John Doe an ordinary accountant with no distiguishing features was altered to the internet screenname of Lord Alatáriël Súrion of the fair folk beautiful and daring who enters in on many adventures.
Screennames and passwords - heaven forbide identity thieft should reach the realms of imagination - were created as an alter ego. Ten years ago I created a password for my email account that I thought signified me as a person and it became the password for my various online accounts. This secret password was like the key that unlocked the alter ego I created for myself something - much like my screenname - was another part of myself.
So imagine my disgust when I was asked to change my password to add symbols and numbers. Imagine my farther disgust when I was asked to not only make sure my password had numbers and symbols in it but I wasn't allowed to use up to 10 of my previous passwords. My password was not just a word, it was part of my alter ego - a part of me they were asking me to destroy.
But - I have a plan! I think we live in a day and age where voice activation is the only way to truly secure our alter egos. To keep them safe from the evil intentions of evil doers we must use our voices (literally). This will save our passwords from being corrupted by the internet society that refused to see we can keep our alter egos safe!
Of course then we'll probably have to start using robotice equivalents mixed in with our own voices to duplicated the symbols and numbers of the typed passwords era.
