Radio tag study revealed
You might never lose another sock once radio frequency ID (RFID) tags are used everywhere, Google's chief internet evangelist has said.
Vint Cerf was speaking at the Cebit technology fair in Hanover after the announcement of a Europe-wide consultation study on RFID. The study was announced at a press conference by the European Commission. RFID is a technology that puts a small amount of computer memory into a tag readable at a distance by radio. It promises to revolutionise the way we track items - and even people, which worries civil liberties groups.
Now it sounds harmless and even good for humanity, but and I think it’s a big but do you trust people enough to allow them to know all about you? Do you know just what data is already collected about you by big business and government agencies?
But more important, DO YOU TRUST THEM?
I sure as hell do NOT.
