  That may not be sufficient, but if you want anything to work to maintain your anonymity in the future, you have to start now. Recognition technologies currently in development can identify a person by gait, posture, and by face while disguised, turned away from the viewer, or otherwise obscured, albeit with a low probability of success. For now. One of the few countermeasures shown to be effective against the newer recognition systems is "dazzle"-style camouflage. The other is to keep yourself out of any databases used for matching. Obviously, the former looks a bit outlandish for anyone out in public. The paranoid and prepared will start scrubbing their social networks, wearing veils of some sort in public, and intentionally sewing rocks into their shoes now, so that when the technology matures later, they will be a "no match" to the databases already being built right now. Everyone else will screw their eyes shut and scream silently into their own skulls as their lives are pushed ever closer to resembling all the various sci-fi dystopias and utopias, blended and amalgamated into one terrifying and beautiful reality.
