We met thanks to sports Marjorie Many years ago, I used to play tennis with a man called Roger. He usually beat me, but I remember how kind he was. We lost touch when I got married, and I thought I’d never see him again. That was 30 years ago. When I retired last year, I needed a new activity, especially as I had also recently gotten divorced, so I took up golf. One day I was going around the course alone, when I saw a man, also playing on his own. When he turned around, I realized it was my old friend! We couldn’t believe it! After that we started playing regularly. Yesterday, Roger proposed in the middle of the golf course – he’d put a ring inside a golf ball! I couldn’t believe it when I saw the ring, but I said “yes!” Paul I was looking for a roommate a few months ago because I had just split up with my partner, and she had moved out. To forget her, I started working out at the gym after work. I slowly got to know Steve, who was often there at the same time, although we didn’t become friends until we were both warming up one day, and he said he was looking for somewhere to live as his girlfriend had just dumped him. I told him that I had a room in my apartment and that I was looking for a roommate. He moved in two days later. We’ve become good friends, and we both agree that we’re much easier to live with than our ex-girlfriends! Liz I had recently moved to San Francisco from Los Angeles when I decided to run the Boston Marathon. I didn’t want to train alone, so I advertised for a running partner at my local gym, and Harriet got in touch. We met for coffee and got along really well. It was amazing how many things we had in common. For example, she had recently moved to San Francisco, too. While we were getting fit, we also became close friends. Unfortunately, I got injured three weeks before the race and couldn’t take part. I was sad about the race but am delighted about my new friendship. And we’re already thinking about next year ...

Face recognition We now upload over four billion photos a month onto Facebook, and anyone who uses the site is familiar with the idea of face recognition software, which can tell you who is (or might be) in your photo. Face recognition is being used in many different areas, especially to help the police identify criminals. Computers are not able to read faces like humans can, but they can be trained to compare a face with a photo that is stored in a database. They do this by noting certain features, or, for example, measuring the distance between the eyes. A “smart” surveillance system – cameras which record our movements in public spaces – has now been developed by a Japanese company which can look through 36 million faces in one second to find a matching one. Many people say they feel safer if there are cameras to protect them in public places, but others are not comfortable with the fact that so many images of us are stored in a database. The technology is not yet perfect (people who have had plastic surgery can especially confuse the system!), but it is now often preferred to other forms of conventional identification. This is partly because it can be used without us knowing. Face recognition is being improved all the time. Other new technology has been designed which can predict how a face might look as it gets older or which can fill in missing parts of an image. It can even identify someone from video taken in very low light. In the future, face recognition might also inspire many more good business ideas. There is already an app for smartphones to tell how many people are at a club, and the ratio of men to women. Sony has also designed a camera that waits for you to smile before it takes a picture. Finally, facial recognition doesn’t just recognize humans now – tests have been carried out which show that individual chimpanzees can be recognized, a development that could be used to protect wildlife in the future.
