双语趣听精彩世界 第189期:可食用的密码!

 　　Florida News Time: PayPal is developing a new generation of edible¹ passwords which stay lodged² in your stomach to let you log in.

　　Jonathan Leblanc, the company's top developer, said that the devices would be powered by stomach acid and include mini computers.

　　He said that technology had become so advanced that it allowed 'true integration³ with the human body'. The next wave of passwords will be edible, ingestible or injectable and will remove the need for what he called 'antiquated⁴' ways of confirming your identity, such as fingerprint⁵ scanning. He says typing in a password will become a thing of the past too.
