...city services accessible via Internet technology are already vast and growing rapidly. When Lee was returning home from work one day, she needed to pick up a copy of her social-security certificate. She did so at a subway station near her office, using a fingerprint-recognition kiosk: she placed her thumb on the machine, it read her print, and out popped a copy of the document.

How long did it take him to get the new TV on the Radio album? It’s like a fingerprint with nuance.There is no denying the link between music preference and personality. In a series of studies conducted in 2003, researchers at the University of Texas at Austin scientifically demonstrated the correlation not only between musical taste and personality, but also between artistic preferences and cognitive ability. According to the study...
