Biometric Security

What I know about this topic:
What I know about bio metric security is that is is used to permit or denies access to a specific place or applications using one's fingerprint or another part of the body that is unique to a specific human being. A specific technological tool reads the fingerprint or any other part of the body and if it recognizes the person it will allow it to pass. If not it will denied access. Other parts of your body can also be used.

Questions I have
 - What other parts of the body can be used in bio metric security?
- How would people use it in their daily lives?
-In what circumstances would it be used?

Helpful links





Bullet point list of what I have learned about Bio metric Security


-It can be used in the eyes
-It can be used in ones face
-It can be used in your whole hand
-It can be used when you are entering a place
-It can be used to access your computer
-It can be used to turn on your phone
-It can be used to extract money form your bank account
-It can be used to substitute credit cards.
-It can be used to identify a terrorist in an airport or elsewhere.

Short Summery of what I learned

 Today I learned that bio m, metric security will become an important part of our lives in the future. I is already being used in airports, in computers and many other places. In the near future it will be used to replace credit cards and retread money form bank accounts. Some machines that use it are phones and computers to turn them on and to log in. Bio metric security can also be used to  identify a person in any place, for example if a terrorist is in an airport he will be detected thanks to bio metric security. Bio metric security can also be used in your eyes, face,hands and DNA. This relates to my life because many things around me will use bio metric security in the future and this way many things will be  avoided. At school bio metric security is already being used to enter and exit school almost at every entrance. In the future it is likely that I wont use a credit card but instead use mu fingerprint or my eyes to pay at a restaurant.

Questions I still Have

-How will it be used to track down people by the fingerprints or eyes if these devices are not connected?
-
How will ypu prevent people from getting plastic surgery and avoiding the law and the system/

Last Quarter;s GPA IS 3.5
Average GPA TO GET INTO THESE COLLEGES IS 3.72

According to my last quarter's GPA I am getting there. In order to get into these colleges I need to get a higher GPA =.This quarter's GPA IS 3.8 if I continue to work like this I might have a chance.

             From this activity I learned that it is tough to get into competitive schools. My GPA which is acceptable and close, is still not enough to get into all four of them. I would have to work to get my GPA up in order to get into these competitive schools. This will change my habit as a student because these facts pressure a lot people. I will become more organized and start demanding only 4s to my self. I will also re-organize my life in order to get the necessary GPA. I also will have to dedicate more time of my life to shool and less to other things. If I was able to get that GPA in the first quarter without doing any effort of any kind, I might have a chance to get the required GPA if I do My best.

Google day Two

Goal for the day:\

1.One goal for today would be to look at examples of Photoshop videos.
2.Another goal for today would be to learn about different programs that could be used to Photoshop videos.
3. To learn different techniques about how to Photoshop a video. For example how to do specific things.

Links:  

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fwJnDMCx5kU

 This was a useful link because it teaches ho to use Photoshop i n order to Photoshop a video.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q06PzY_dhZg&feature=related
This was a useful link Because it teaches what to do with a video in Photoshop  For example it teaches ho to unite two different videos.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ORJCXzuxzTk

 This is an excellent link because it teaches how to add effects in a video using Photoshop. It also tells you ho to change the color and                      


Things that I learned  


   Today I learned how to use Photoshop to Photoshop a video by downloading it from the internet. I learned how to modify the people that are in the video. I also learned how to adjust the light in the video
and how to adjust sound. How to break down videos and also how to combine different videos in one using Photoshop. I learned how to add special effects to a Photoshop video and also how to modify voices and different sounds in the video.

 This image is a good  example of how to Photoshop a video using Photoshop.com. This website is also really useful when it comes to photo shop both pictures and videos. This website can also do everything that Photoshop the program can do. maybe even more.

What I want To Learn Next Class
  
Next class I would like to learn how to use programs other than Photoshop in order to modify a video. I would also like to learn to combine sounds using Photoshop in a video. I still want to learn how to add another person into a video using Photoshop. Another thing I would like to learn next class is to learn the differences of Photoshop  the program and the website.

2. I agree went they said that half of our lives are online because the internet , is the place that people most spend time on world wide.

3. I agree that the technology is a distraction because we are so-rounded  by it. This means that the fact it is all around us it will make us lose focus.

4.I agree that some people might be able to do two things at once, because some people including myself are able to be doing two things at the same time and still be able to do better.

5.I agree that more brain activity happens when we are online than when we are reading a book because, We are more active and we and we make more decisions when we are online.

6. I agree that some of us might be admitted to video games, because here it is shown that in South Korea people go to internet cafes to play video games all day and all night

7.I disagree that being around  by technology can cause serious health problems . Because this kind of addiction can cause psychological problems but not health problems.

8.I agree that  helping people to spend less time on the computer might help them in their lives.

9. I agree that the technological revolution is going very fast and because of this young people are able to adapt and older people will not be able to adapt to this knew society.

10. I disagree that teaching small children Internet etiquette will help at all because they will discover things that they like and ignore their ethics and manners in the computer.

11. I agree that teaching some subjects such as history in the computers will be useful because they have more access to information.

12. Using technology only schools could be useful for life because thanks, to the learning to use technology we adapt to this knew society.

13. I agree that using many different things at the same time could reduce brain activity in one linear thought.

14. I disagree that blocking webpages is not useful because students will find them with internet filters anyway.

15.I agree that using the computer so much can decrease peoples reading, because people will use the internet to think more than the level of thinking when they are reading a book.

16. I disagree that people's intelligence will decrease by using technology, people able to preform different tasks at the same time ,might increase people's intelligence.

17. I agree that young people still depend too much on technology for their lives. This is not a bad thing.

18. Some video games can tempt people into playing them because they present a lyfstyle different from their own.

What are colleges looking for in a strong applicant

Links





Summary of what I found
  I found that collages and Universities are looking for in an applicant. The main things they wasn are grades, and your scrores from tests such as the SAT. They also look for extracurricular activities. The fact that a students is involved in extracurricular activities shows that a student manageshis or her time better.They also look at your discipline as an important factor. The less detentions you have the better you will look to the universities. Reaserch shos that universities are more likely to accept an older person. Ex. 19 vs 17. This would be because of his or her maturity and life experience. Universities are also more likely to accept foreign students. This means that a foreigh student is more like;y to get financial aid and be accepted. This is because collages want to have as more cultural diversity as possible. These are the toughest universities to get into in the world:



Cambridge, MA

After showing the bdifferent viedos I have photoshoped , I will photoshop a video infront of the whole class to show them how to make these changes, on a video. All of the videos I photoshop will be uploaded to youtube and link to a website that I will create, specifically for this project.
