RFID

We just learned about RFID technology in my MIS 204 class at Penn State. This is an extremely innovative technology that will be pivotal to the success of most firms in the near future. One important thing I learned about this technology is its ability to authenticate anything using radio frequencies and antenaes. I did not know that this was the technology behind EZ pass either. Another thing I learned about this is the excited future implimentation of this technology. Once this new idea fully matures, you will be able to push your supermarket cart into a specified area, this will read all of the RFID tags on every item in the cart, which will in turn complete your entire check-out process in a matter of seconds. Observing science fiction becoming reality is exciting!
