RFID Tag Your Personal Belongings

HomeSeer is offering an RFID Home Starter Kit. It is specifically designed to track the presence (or absence) of your personal property, but it can also notify you when the kids get home from school or when little ones wander near a pool. Or, how about if the trash cans aren’t outside on garbage day?

Controversy over “people tagging” aside, RFID tags are modern media and will play a valuable role in “liquid media.”

So, start brainstorming how you can use RFID to deliver truly useful products and services that allow your customers to pull information on demand.

RFID as Modern Media

This just in from the "Look Sideways" department: Wal-Mart may be using RFID to track inventory, but you can use it at your next convention or mixer to find the perfect person to talk to. RFID (radio frequency identification) is being used as "smart nametags" to help people find others with common interests. And it's also being used by doctors to access critical medical information from patients via RFID tags embedded in their skin. Be on the lookout for RFID in marketing, medicine, and other "sideways" applications.
