It looks like a great way to make a great system but what if you pick up someone else bacteria couldn’t the effect the reader. You could get locked out just because you touched a bottle of water!

I think that it could be use for a secrety, so if they don’t have the same microoganisms you can’t accsess the computer. If someone stole something from you and their microorganisms touch something on your body likeyour jacket youwould that to find the person who stole the thing from you.

It could be a new way to log in to accounts. So instead of a username and password it just uses you “signature”. And i guess knowing this makes sure to clean our keyboard i guess?

This technology could be used as a log-in feature for our computers so our computers know our bacterial signature and only allow you to log-in.
A way we could use this now is to track down criminals so lets say that a criminal had signed a paper that entitled him to money. Then you know that it was one of three pens so you scan the bacterium and vuwala the criminal is identified.
