Face-Recognition Technology

Proponents of face-recognition say that if camera had been linked to a computer database with Atta's picture, one of the terrorists, security personnel could identify him and remove him from the plan. They say that it is possible to set up a system to find suspicious people out of a crowd by digitally photographing their face. The possibility of preventing a terrorist attack by spotting the bad guys is tempting. Face-recognition sweeps have been used at football stadiums,in crowded street, and airports in the hope of doing just that. However, the world's best face-recognition device is the human brain. For instance, parents can tell the difference between identical twins, even though they are exactly the same. But, unlike a fingerprint or an iris, the face does not show easy-to separate patterns. Thus, computers may make mistakes in identifying people. Buying the costly equipment seems wasteful if it makes a lot of mistakes. People who is mistakenly identified as a criminal could sue a small or foot ball stadiumfor using an inadequate system and the amount awarded in such a lawsuit could easily be higher than the cost of the system itself.

my school

I am a freshman at National Taipei University now. I love this school very much. In fact, when I saw this school the first time, I was scared! What a mini university it is! By the way, it has another much bigger area at Shanshia(三峽). Though it is small, it is very convenient! Can you imagine if your school was very big, you have to walk a lot to your classroom, haven’t you? Besides, there are a lot of snack bars and stands near my dorm. Those foods are very delicious!
To me, the most harvest is making many friends, who come from everywhere even overseas , such as Malaysia、Burma、China, and so on. It is very interesting and we get along in harmony. In addition, I learn a lot from them. Learning from others can make us grow up and become more mature.
My department is Real Estate Built Environment. But I haven’t known what I want to do in the future. Therefore, I hope I can find my target at the third year of university.
To sum up, I hope I will have a happy time at National Taipei University!
