Blah, Blah! Technology A fascinating discussion concerning how we will inevitably have to deal with robots in our every day lives. While I think robots are an inevitably, I also think it's very likely that robots will bring with them an ethical debate as to how we should treat them, given that they will be a life form of some description, which I first wrote about in 2007 ( http://tr.im/qTCq ).

I've never had an issue with this...

But I'd rather have them masked. I believe that DOES improve security a bit and I don't find the system that hard to use. I type my passwords without even looking at the screen, so why would I need them to show up?

Anyway, the best solution would probably be for each user to be able to choose if they want their password masked or not.
