ThingMagic wants to RFID everything
Apparently there will be some other uses for RFID besides tracking your every move: a new start-up called ThingMagic wants to embed RFID tags into everything imaginable, with every tag containing a little bit of information about the object it is attached to, with the idea that once that happens it'll be just a trifling matter to have your slavebot dash around the house fetching things for you or putting them back into their proper place (we always knew that technology would someday address our slovenliness). Still ten years out, which should give them plenty of time to figure out how putting self-identifying RFID tags on everything we own is going to prevent tech-savvy thieves from cruising around rich neighborhoods looking for the homes with the highest concentration of valuable treats waiting inside. Shoot, we'd cruise around with a high-powered RFID tag reader checking out what weird embarrassing stuff people have just for kicks.
