Haha +1 to this. By that logic my ass is machine readable if I take a digital photo of it.

It depends on the machine, if you're feeding your picture to a machine with image recognition capabilities, it might just be able to tell that it's your ass. Some pretty big companies are working on just that. (not on figuring out if it's your ass, but image recognition in the general sense)

The big picture is to make as many things as possible "machine readable" (things more difficult than resumes), and use machines to work faster than humans ever could.
