what money really means and how to get rich_136

_{My Imagination sees a cyborg, a human in whose body computer chips}

_{have been embedded. These chips communicate with our mind and with}

_{computers outside the body.A chip perhaps kept in some lockbox in the skull.}

_{A semiconductor surgically placed under the skin in the forearm.}

_{But this isn't science fiction fantasy. This isn't something I have to try too}

_{hard to imagine. It's happening today. In England, for example, a professor at}

_{the University of Reading has implanted microchips in his body. He can open}

_{doors without physical contact and soon hopes to have his nervous system}

_{communicate directly with his computer.}

_{Still, that isn't the future. Cyborgs are about as advanced as an external}

_{computer modem.}

_{Instead, picture this:That same professor walks into his office and the doors}

_{open when he says, "open." His computer turns on at the sound of his voice,}

_{his fingerprint on the keyboard serves as his password to open secure files. He}

_{even pays for deliveries just by a simple confirmation of "yes" when the delivery}

_{person drops off his food.That "yes" is circuited through a wireless Internet}

_{environment and routed to his bank account. A debit is confirmed right then}

_{and there.}

_{That's biometrics.We don't need artificial devices planted on us to access}

_{computer-encoded data and vice versa; those capabilities exist with biometrics.}

_{Biometrics are computerized methods of recognizing people based}

_{on physical or behavioral characteristics. The main biometric technologies}

_{include face, fingerprint, hand geometry, iris, palm prints, signature, and voice}

_recognition.

_{Those biometric methods are currently being used mostly for security purposes}

_{to identify criminals and terrorists at airports, passport control areas, and}

_{security checkpoints around the world. But think about biometrics in the}

_{purposes of conveying trust and information. So, let's break that down.}
