8．Soon computers and other machines will be able to remember you by looking at your eyes!The program works because everyone's eyes are different．So in the future you won't have to remember a number when you want to use a machine or take money out of a bank．You'll just have to look at the machine and it will be able to tell who you are．
The eye-recognition （眼睛识别） program is already being tested in shops and banks in the USA，Britain，Spain，Italy and Turkey．Soon this technology will take the place of all other ways of finding out who people are．

In the future your computer will recognize you in the eye．So smile!
