    RFID uses radio waves to identify unique items through communication between a reader and a transponder chip. It can be used for various applications like replacing barcodes for tracking library items, monitoring student attendance and belongings, security systems, asset management, and product tracking. While costs are decreasing and possibilities increasing, concerns include compatibility, security, privacy, and originally high expenses. RFID shows government and business potential but needs enhanced security for human identification uses.

    What is RFID?

    Radio Frequency Identification:

    Any method of identifying unique items using radio


    waves. Typically, a reader (also called an interrogator)
    communicates with a transponder, which holds digital
    information in a microchip. There are chip-less forms
    of RFID tags that use material to reflect back a portion
    of the radio waves beamed at them.

    The RFID Journal was very informative and included recent uses of radio-frequency
    identification, such as Government relief to victims in Haiti. The RFID Journal also
    had great information on the broad range or uses for radio-frequency identification,
    as well as a glossary that was very beneficial in understanding certain terms of radio-
    frequency identification.
