We will see real life applications of biometrics.
Objectives: 1.5 Digital Lifestyles and 1.1 Introduction of Computers
We will practice Text-based questions with the Time magazine article at http://nation.time.com/2012/10/18/college-is-dead-long-live-college/

Guided Lesson:

Real world biometric applications to what we have been studying:
Biometric items were used in a big way for the first time in the
Boston Bomb investigation. The FBI also used social media
(Facebook, etc.) and asked the public for assistance. They
received 300,000 hits per minute on their web site.
