Technology gone too far

this is just ridiculous. Sometimes we build technology just because we can. Not because we should, or because it provides any value to society.

A vending machine that makes purchases based on facial recognition. It's very Minority Report.

Certainly the consumer nature of facial recognition has been explored to death in science fiction (as has the law & order component).

But I wonder about other aspects. Could we weld medical analysis to food processing so that when we order a cheeseburger from the local diner, a customized blend of medicines and proteins are put into the burger to deliver medicine, slow aging, etc.

And what would happen if that system were to be compromised?
