Digg.com posting, “They’ve put a chip where?! From kids to footie fans find out where RFID chips are putting in an appearance in this top ten.”
Some of the uses now for RFID sound crazy, but many of these uses are here to stay. Item level tracking for books and clothing save stores on inventory control costs (ever seen stores close for inventory? / also reduce theft with real-time tracking).
RFID for hospitals and blood tracking makes too much sense. RFID should eliminate nurses giving out wrong dosage of medicine. RFID on blood helps keep the chain of custody and track for possible recalls.
RFID tracking of people is another story. Too many questions on privacy issues and end-time prophesies (mark of devil / 666).
