What technology do you find most beneficial to use in your work or school? Least
beneficial?
In recent years, the world has experienced the intensive infiltration of digital device in
every sphere of life because of that, manual machine operation is becoming less effective and

used at my work place. The least valuable device used is the identification card.
why do you find this tool useful or not?
Fingerprint scanner are safe, secure and accurate to use. Fingerprint recognition is used
and trusted worldwide both in private and public sectors for identity
recognition(Mil’shtein,2014). Clock in using fingerprint scanner at work, captures real-time and
labor data of an employee. Employers rely on the Easy Clock time and attendance method
system because it stores employee’s data in a mathematical representation which makes
Identification duplicate almost impossible. The device is digitally automated to keep track of
employee attendance which in return safes employers the cost of labor. In terms of patient care,
the benefits of biometric system such as fingerprint scanner are unique to individual, and users
do not have to carry additional hardware (Mil’shtein,2014). Therefore, fingerprint scanning can
safe them time and the burden of remembering passwords. In addition, it makes Identification
duplicate almost impossible and preventing identification theft and identification mix up with
other patients bearing similar names, it also prevents common medication errors as well. The
least valuable device used at work, is the use of Identification card because they are easy to fake,
password can be forgotten, misplaced or stolen.
