RFID tags gaining in popularity but

RFID tags gaining in popularity but
consumer beware 07/01/2004 03:53 PM

Some big names in business are investing serious cash in researching RFID tags. I have no doubt that RFID tags will be on virtually everything including embedded in clothes, consumer products etc. I am aware of the power of tracking products consumable products from cradle to grave.

Imagine buying some steaks at Costco and taking them home and when you put them in your refrigerator you push a inventory button and your Wifi connected fridge broadcast the updated information to your computer. You want to see where those steaks came from login to your PC and connect to national database which includes information that gives you DOB of the Steer, what the animal was fed, what type of injections it had, what processing plant processed the meat, where it was stored, what temperature variations the meat was subjected etc.

Does this sound far-fetched. Well I challenge that in 5 years or less this will be possible. But I caution you this could be a two way street. You buy a pack of cigarettes at Walmart on your debit card this purchase is tracked and then your life insurance company buys a profile about your buying habits and then send you a rate increase because now you are a high risk client in that you are a candidate for lung cancer.

Think about that the next time you see a RFID tag. [Infoworld]
