The rapid development of communication technology is more exciting than science fiction, as such technology will soon be revolutionizing our daily lives. In the future, an intelligent refrigerator will order food on its own, while cell phones “talk” to movie posters or train ticket machines. Tickets will then be paid for via cell phone bills, making annoying waits at offices and counters a thing of the past. All of this will be made possible by radio frequency identification technology, or RFID, which is already opening up new dimensions in data transmission, and is now being tested in increasingly diverse areas. RFID can be found in the consumer goods industry, where it speeds up the supply chain and makes it more transparent. That’s because the technology can be used to track and control every stage of a product’s journey from the manufacturer to the store shelf.
