How about a computer to log in with a person's finger print? Then we never need to remember any user name and password for any OS or application. If any computer can look up a networked finger print DB (secured, I assume), as long as a person touch the screen, the person will automatically be logged into the computer and applications. Then we never need to rememebr any user name and passwords

not just finger prints, but other biometrics information, like face recognition
Accessibility for all of us Sep 18, 2009
I completely agree with this -- especially as we work to make things "accessible" -- standard accessibility guidelines are expensive to implement and by definition overcorrect for some and don't adapt for others. Our personal devices - laptops, smartphones etc. should adapt applications and contents for our specific needs and gain feedback from how we use the applications/information/services.

EXACTLY! I totally agree with you... we spend so much time with our notebooks why doesn't it just log me in automatically when I just place my fingers on the keyboard? Why does it still take days for us to get a replacement notebook when ours go broken? We should be able to go to another computer and with just an id be able to download our mail and use the IBM system. I recently lost my hard drive and I was out of work for 3 days... this is so unproductive! Where the intelligence? I should just be able to swamp a new drive into another PC (maybe another family member) and download the image of my old drive. Or better yet, just use it from a "virtual" image someplace... why do I even need a PC esp. when I travel
