15、Young people and older people don't always agree．with each other．They sometimes have different ideas about living，working and having fun．But in one special program in New York，adults and teenagers live together in peace．

14、Soon computers and other machines（机器）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 has already been tested in shops and banks in the USA，Britain，Spain，Italy and Turkey．Soon this technology（技术）will take the place of all other ways of finding out who people are．

However，scientists are also working on other systems．Machines will soon be able to know you from the shape of your face or hand or even your smell! We already have machines that can tell who you are from your voice or the mark made by your finger．

Eye-recognition is better than other kinds because your eyes don’t change as you get older，and don’t get dirty like hands or fingers，and even／wins have different eyes．So the eye-recognition program can be up to 94% correct，depending on how good the technology is．However，some other programs may only be 51% correct at present．In Britain，it was found that 91%of people who had tried it said that they liked the idea of eye-recognition．

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