Recently I viewed a blog post by Alex Iskold which highlighted the fact of security within e-learning in which he mentioned biometrics.
I think it is a great way to securly link a profile (account) to an individual. For one it would at least get rid of a few cards. On searching the web I came across this site.

I had not relised that this technology was at production stage. The technology could make it so much easier to take out library books, code bespoke programs tailored to the student and generally make the students life easier.

The Electronic Dustbin
Feeling a bit green today
With all the talk and practices taking place to clean up our beloved planet, a question could be .. Arnt we just transferring that problem elsewhere.
I would hate to think of the amount of energy wasted with non-useful websites or spam e-mail. Somewhere in our world there has to be computer or harddrive which stores this data. Now we should all do our bit and have a clean the spam day. For mostpeople, (im guilty of this as well) we do not see typing rubbish as a waste of energy, but rubbish has to get stored somewhere.
So while we go about cleaning our real world problems, lets not waste it by dirtying up the virtual one.
