1. To what extent has technology had an impact on both privacy and security in your country? (Nov 2009) by Mind Map: 1. To what extent has technology had an impact on both privacy and security in your country? (Nov 2009)

1. Less hassle for teachers. Save the environment also because no need to print attendance sheet for every class while still being able to ensure who is present for school

2. Eg. New radar systems with greater range and identification abilities would be able to detect probes or UAVs of other countries, and if need be shoot them down. Thus maintaining the privacy of Singapore and Singaporeans.

3. Eg. Predator UAVs allow spying of enemy positions without compromising the safety of service personnel and by constantly monitoring the activities of potential threats, are able to remove the threat when it materialises thus saving innocent civilian lives

4. Biometrics Identification Security http://www.nec.com/global/onlinetv/en/society/e_pass_l.html

4.1. Introduction of biometric passports(e-passports)

4.1.1. The new system means that if a passport number and thumbprint does not match at the security gates, the security services can be automatically alerted
