    A new camera made by a company named Netatmo has facial recognition software(面部识别软件). It can tell parents at work that their children have returned from school, or that a package has been taken to their home. It can also tell them if a stranger has entered their home.

    Janina Mattausch is the product marketing manager for Netatmo.

    "The common security(安全)camera at present are not that smart. They can tell if something is moving but they don't necessarily know if it's a human being or, ah, if it's your kids. They don't know the difference, so they will warn you all the time."

    When family members enter a home, the new camera "recognizes(识别)" them and sends information to the owner's smartphone. The owner can choose to see the video then or later. But if an unknown person enters a home, the camera will send the warning that will cause an alarm to sound on the owner's smartphone.

    That is what happened recently to an owner of the smart camera named Damien, He lives in Paris.

    "On a Friday I was at work, attending(出席) a big monthly meeting when my phone warned. At first I told myself, 'Oh, it must be a mistake, maybe I have to set the system again.' But the notice on my phone was telling me that there was a movement in my flat and also a face that the software did not recognize."

    He watched the video and was very surprised by what he saw. "I was watching it live on video. So I felt totally unbelievable and frozen. I asked a workmate to take me back home as fast as possible and I called the police on the way."

    With the help of the video, the police found the intruder(闯A者) later that day.

    The human brain weighs about 1.4 kilograms, but it can hold much more information than most computers.However, there is another difference between humans and computers.Computers don't forget information they are given, but humans often do.No one remembers everything, and luckily we don't usually have to.But everyone can improve their memory if they want to.Here are some suggestions.

    Try to use new information immediately.For example, if you meet someone who says "Hi! I'm Carlos."Don't just say "Hello." Repeat the person's name.Say "________"

    Break a big number into smaller parts. For example, it's hard to memorize (记忆) 109244153.But if you break it into three parts  109/244/153--it becomes easier.

    Write out what you need to remember over and over again.This will help you keep it in mind longer, especially for memorizing formulas (公式) or facts.

Always review information.If you bring what you've learned back to your mind, it becomes easier to remember. For example, before you go to sleep, it's a good idea to review the new things you learned that day.

    Discuss with a friend.It is always easier to remember things through discussions.You can have a discussion about what's right and what's wrong, and it will lead to the right answer.

    Never tell yourself that you have a bad memory.You can always do something to help improve your memory.And everyone's memory gets better if they use it often enough.

    All the suggestions are helpful.If you follow them, you are certain to improve your memory.
