There's probably no better way to indoctrinate your kids into the ways of RFID than with the MagiCook Kitchen from Little Tikes, a toy kitchen where all the fake food comes embedded with RIFD tags. Swipe a plastic waffle over the built-in sensor in the fake stovetop and you'll hear a variety food and cooking-related phrases. See, RFID really is for more than just the government spying on you!
oh, that is rich!
Indoctrination? Indeed.
Funny how toys point to a possible future. Imagine the medical improvements for the developing world when a device has embedded in it the intelligence on how to use it, interpret results, and actions to take based on those results. Same with foodstuffs, I'd love a product that told me how to prepare it.
Does anyone know of any other toy products that utilize RFID in this way? I know of Serafina, Star Wars light sabre, but am looking for others for a piece I am writing. Cheers.
