Is it too much work for the teachers to collect lunch money from the children ? They have been doing it for decades. Why change it to scanners .

Guest LadyC Posted October 7, 2012 Share Posted October 7, 2012 i don't get it. what is so upsetting about this technology? i'm sure that some will think it's just one step closer to the mark of the beast, but i think that's reaching way too far. it's just scanning their palm print. just like fingerprints are used to identify people, the palm print is identifying the kid to make sure the lunch is deducted from the right account. no big deal. i remember when i was a kid, our lunches were about 40 minutes long i think. when my kids were in school, they had more students and less time. running a cash register DOES take time... those moments of a kid fumbling with the change in his pocket (if he hasn't lost it), and of a human ringing up a sale, add up to someone at the end of the line having to literally inhale their food on their way to the next class. by the time my kids were in high school, it had changed to them having money deposited into an account linked to their student ID. that saved time, provided the student could find their ID in the first place! otherwise, it was more wasted moments of fumbling through wallets and purses finding the right piece of plastic. this new system, scanning a palm print, is perfect, IMO. it's not like it's an RF chip embedded under the skin, it's just the pattern of skin that is unique to each individual. no more fumbling for cash or cards. no more accidental deductions from the wrong student's account, either. i really don't think there is anything sinister about this technological advancement, and wonder why it has taken so long for someone to come up with it!

Guest LadyC Posted October 7, 2012 Share Posted October 7, 2012 everything can be abused. and every advancement in technology brings us one step closer to the end times. but the end times are coming. and with them, so comes Christ's triumphal return. now, where's the down side again? seriously, there is no reason to fear the use of palm prints as identification. heck, having been the victim of ID theft that caused me YEARS of headache and frustration and crappy credit scores, i think it's a great thing. yes, let's imagine going to the bank and having to scan our palm. (our fingerprints have been placed on checks for years and years already anyway.) let's imagine having to scan the palm when applying for credit cards. let's imagine for a moment how difficult it would be for someone to fraudulently use our accounts to steal from us, because they don't have our skin! still looking for the down side.

Guest LadyC Posted October 8, 2012 Share Posted October 8, 2012 well there's the basic difference. i'm not opposed to the patriot act. and i'm certainly not against enforced measures of identification for welfare (tanf) recipients. i really don't know how it would prevent me from getting a job. i think it's a bit paranoid to assume that the government would use it to charge you with crimes you didn't commit. sure, it might happen... it already happens, without biometrics. that's the evil nature of this world. but such charges are the exception, not the rule. i'm not afraid of my actions, my movements being tracked, by the government or anyone else. in fact, i welcome it. i hope that whoever is watching will see Jesus reflected in me. i'm just still not seeing the down side.
