What is RFID?

Back


Radio-frequency identification (RFID) is an automatic identification method, relying on storing and remotely retrieving data using devices called RFID tags or transponders.

An RFID tag is an object that can be applied to or incorporated into a product, animal, or person for the purpose of identification using radiowaves. Some tags can be read from several meters away and beyond the line of sight of the reader.

Most RFID tags contain at least two parts. One is an integrated circuit for storing and processing information, modulating and demodulating a (RF) signal and can also be used for other specialized functions. The second is an antenna for receiving and transmitting the signal. A technology called chipless RFID allows for discrete identification of tags without an integrated circuit, thereby allowing tags to be printed directly onto assets at lower cost than traditional tags.

Today, a significant thrust in RFID use is in enterprise supply chain management, improving the efficiency of inventory tracking and management. However, a threat is looming that the current growth and adoption in enterprise supply chain market will not be sustainable. A fair cost-sharing mechanism, rational motives and justified returns from RFID technology investments are the key ingredients to achieve long-term and sustainable RFID technology adoption.

Are you FUCKING KIDDING ME????

If this stuff is really coming I am going because this is in all of the movies about the future and the technology always ends up in the wrong people's hands. Well I guarantee it was made and is going to be used for the wrong reasons. This is not FREEDOM. I will never take the chip.

Did you know why 666 is the number of the beast...? Because Verichip has a code of three digits and each of them has six numbers, for example:342523,122424,464522(6 66),COULD BE YOU. This is enaugh to count with a different number all the humans in the planet, very useful for Satan to count us all!

I don't believe in the bible or any of this religious crap, but I'm not taking any fucking chances in getting a goddamn biochip implanted. Fuck the government.

whats even scarier is that these products are already embedded in gilette items, and duracell batteries. check out my video and the description it has links to websites!!!

imagine a time when the police officer knows u carry exactly how many guns and imagine when they're the bad guys!

While I agree with your perspective, RFID is an unstable technology that is easily hacked, meaning someone could steal your house or car if they clone your chip's serial number. In addition, if the government coerces everyone into implanting a chip in their bodies, my fear is that it would be used to keep track of all your personal information...including financial information, etc. This renders our currency useless. If you upset the govt., all they have to do is turn off your chip...

the speed pass cards and some other cards already have RFID's
