                   MetroCard Finder is an app that is designed to help find lost/stolen Metro Cards and it can be accessed from a personal computer or a smartphone. In collaboration with Google Maps, The Metropolitan Transportation Authority (MTA), and the input and feedback of viewers like you, this project will be completed. It can become developed so that it will not only work for Metrocards but for other more general items and valuables such as Credit cards, Debit cards, and even vehicles. Many aspects of technology would have to be applied for this idea to be in motion and successful.
                    I would like to add on to my entrepreneurship idea the tracking device in the form of a Nano chip. The Nano chip would be attached to the MetroCard so that if a customer lost it underground, it could be detected through a wireless range. Many customers lose these valuables in the train which will eventually go underground. This would make it hard for them to track the item with their phone or computer since there would be no detectable signal. It would even be hard for the MTA to track their own cards without a signal. With this nanotechnology, it would be really convenient to track the card because of the unlimited wireless range even underground. One major aspect of technology that would need to be deeply considered is Hardware.
                    Hardware is the tools, machinery, wiring, and other physical characteristics that are necessary in order to keep a machine/system running. A part of hardware to be considered in this situation is nanotechnology, which is the study of manipulating materials on an atomic or molecular level especially to build microscopic devices (as robots, or even making microscopic chips). Microscopic Chips would have to be attached to the valuable items. Once the item is reported lost, they system would try to track down it down even in difficult underground spots thanks to the micro chip that would work with a wireless range. A GPS system is also required to help make the tracking process quicker.
                      Customers would also have the option of scanning the receipt for purchase of the item and then upload the image via pc or smart phone/tablet. The image would be uploaded into the system's database. This way the invoice #, reference #, amount added into the card would be in the database, along with a possible facial recognition of the customer.
