So, we all have a student id which we need to have in order to get into Fike. Well, according to the article "Your Finger, Please" recreational facilities in Washington D.C. are doing finger swiping which will eliminate the use of a card. I believe that the Central/Clemson recreation already has this in use right now.
Doing this will save $50,000 a year for the recreation department says the County officials in the D.C. area! That is crazy!
The article states that a card scanner costs about $2,000 and the cards cost around $1.50 each. But, a biometric vein scanner costs about $100 and all a person needs is their finger!
Do you think this technology is going a bit too far? Do you think everyone will be able to catch onto it?
