SCIENCE AND ROBOTS

Science and technology are changing the world every day. One of the most famous examples of modern progress is the robot. In the past, robots were only found in science fiction movies or huge factories. Today, they are real and help us in many different ways. For instance, many busy families now rely smart vacuums to clean their floors. These devices work quietly and efficiently without needing much human help.

Scientists and engineers want to improve abilities even more. They hope to build advanced robots that can drive cars, deliver packages, or cook delicious meals. This technological progress is for the future of our society. However, machines cannot replace humans completely. We have feelings and creativity that robots do not have. We should treat these powerful as tools to help us live better lives. They allow us to spend more free time with our friends and family.

Read the passage and choose the best answer for each question.

Biometrics is a technology that uses unique physical characteristics to identify people. In the past, we relied on metal keys or written passwords to open doors and access computers. Today, your body can be the key. This works because no two human beings are exactly the same. Even identical twins have small differences in their physical features.

The most known type of biometrics is fingerprint scanning. Police have used this method for decades, but now it is a standard feature on many smartphones. Another popular method is facial recognition. Special cameras measure the shape of your face to unlock devices or confirm your identity at airport security. Some high-tech systems can even scan the iris, which is the colored ring in your eye.

Biometric technology offers great convenience because you never need to memorize complex passwords. It also significantly improves security. However, some experts worry about data privacy. Despite these concerns, biometrics is rapidly becoming a normal part of our digital world.

  • How to create a strong password
