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?

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 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/

College Exploration on Naviance

Two colleges that I know about and interest me are:

1. Yale.

2. Harvard.

Areas about colleges that matter me are:

	Brown University	Cornell University	Yale University	Harvard University
# of students	8,500	20,000	11,700	27,600
Retention rate percentage	97	96	99	98
Applicants accepted percentage	9	18	7	6

Type	Traditional University	Traditional University	Traditional University	Traditional University

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.
