<p>The multi-purpose FutureCard will be the version of our perpetually metamorphosing IC in the near future. With an embedded smart chip, it can also be used as a passport, store our medical history, driver's license, act as an ATM card, serve as an electronic purse and even be used at the National Library...what ever you do with the card...you will be tracked! It may also be a tracking device via GPRS (Good or Bad, depending the situation) However, a recent debate has brought to light the questionable control on access, potential information abuse and privacy infringement. As the debate rages on, I can foresee a likely scenario when ordering pizzas in the near future...</p>

<p>hey i'm a J2 from hc :) Just wanted to ask how important do you guys think ECs really are? I was so terribly busy in J1 cos I took an extra sub and had a lot of olympiad trainings that I had to quit most of my ccas so now I only have one without any posts (weeps)... Would this seriously harm my us uni admission prospects? the ivies dont seem to care much about s papers or olympiads :(</p>
<p>btw it seems that all the hc seniors who went to the ivies are from humans. bahh what happened to all the science students who make up 80% of the hc population?</p>
