Thank you olemiss1305, is it not the biometric flash drive that everyone wants at an affordable price? I know there are other products due to the technology being new.

But, lets say in the future, a usb port will allow a biometric flash drive to access the internet and act as switch to internet enabled devices. Interesting concept, if you have the right technology that can run one of the devices.


Thank you for sharing your experience.

Kind regards,
Up

Olemiss - the technology to turn any electronic device on or off was developed a few decades ago. The technology is called X10. It has fallen into a kind of dormancy in recent years. Radio Shack is the world's largest retailer of this technology, though if you go into a Shack and ask the clerks about it, most won't have any idea about what you are talking about.

There's tons of X10 info and products on the Internet.

IMO, a biometric front end on this is completely unnecessary as a simple code will do. Why you would need security on an appliance activation/deactivation device is beyond me. Neither my toaster, my TV, nor my hot water heater require security now. Why they would 6 months from now escapes me.

That would be very nice on every automobile not to mention every computer.
