Using RFID at home

  • Cikk

An interesting article about various uses of the RFID technology: https://www.primidi.com/2004/11/20.html and its associated Slashdot link.

But, I actually have a different wish from RFID. I always dreamed of some "smart" hand-held RFID scanner that could discover whatever I couldn't find for the moment. For example, let's say that I can't find my glasses in the morning. Then all I have to do is pick my scanner, select "my glasses" from the menu, and start following directions. Then I can turn the scanner there and get closer and closer, until I am in the room containing the glasses.

The scanner and sheets of RFID stickers should be available at the QFC nearby for less than $40. Eventually I should be able to buy more stickers for $5 per sheet.

 

P.S. A problem remains: what if I lose the scanner?  I can use two scanners and attach a RFID sticker on each one of them. That way, I can use one to find the other one :-)

    I've been thinking the same thing for a number of years. But consider this, now everytime you walk into a store they now know you have a set of glasses, a packet of asprin, and a pocket pc PDA on you. Even with the possibility of adding encryption, simply having the tags on you can allow someone to track your movements by the unique-ness of your items, Aiya...

    Zombie Wire RFID World News' main objective is to reach out to the consumer and educate them on RFID and how it will infringe in their private lives.

    We would say that 90% of all consumers do not know of the RFID movement. The question are: why are there as many as 90% of the consumers thus far in to the RFID movement unaware of what is taking place behind closed doors? What is there to hide? If informed of the RFID mandate, would they the consumer refute or conform? These and other inquiries need to be approached now before the mandate stands insurmountable.
