All and Everything will communicate

In an earlier article (here)  I introduced the upcoming of RFID products and applications that will invade our daily Lifes.

I briefly remind that RFID is an "electronic Label" made of a chip and an antenna, that contend Identification information  and  communicate via Radio Frequencies

A new step in development has been unveiled by Hitachi in Japan with the release of "Powder" RFID


A 5 microns thick, RFID chip measuring only  0.05 x 0.05 mm .The new chips have a 128-bit ROM for storing a unique 38-digit ID number. It will use a frequency of 2.45GHz.

This new RFID  Chip will be brought on the market  in the next 2 to 3 years. So with a high volume production we can imagine that in less than 10 years from now *all  single product , paper, document... can be RFID taged.

It is a new  revolution in the tracability of goods.

But it does not not only concern objects and merchandises.

Beyond the numerous industrial applications, People too...can be mapped, such a small chip  complete a range of available biological indentification means such as fingerprints, ADN...

The George Orwell vision of Big Brother watching us in his book "1984"  might year after year become  true... ?
