Loftware, Inc., has a blog with several interesting posts: the Future of RFID (very interesting YouTube video clip that shows you how powerful RFID is in the supply chain); buying rounds of drinks with an RFID card; and a very brief but amusing the Future is Bright. The latter gives the recipe for RFID articles in the popular press.
The
blog IS a business blog and overly positive and amusing about RFID, to
the point of being punny with the titles. Is it honest? I don't know. I
only read a few posts, but there are definitely discussions of some
very interesting RFID applications. While I wholeheartedly don't agree
that everyone using RFID has only good intentions, the Loftware post
probably is fairly accurate about a lot of the scaremongering.
On
the other hand, I always take with a grain of salt any comment from an
RFID company who says that there isn't ANY sinister plan for
identification technology. History has proven that megalomania still
runs deep in humans. If you think that it's normal for a company to
suggest that soldiers be tagged with RFID chips like our common household pets and livestock,
then no, there's nothing sinister going in our world re RFID.
Fortunately, there are tons of legit, productive applications of radio
frequency technology.
