List three advantages of RFID technology over barcode technology?

Best answer:

- RFID tags do not have to be visible to be detected/scanned. For instance a tagged item could be inside a box and yet still be scanned.

- RFID systems allow scanning from further distances than Barcode scanning.

- Several items can be scanned at the same time with RFID systems vs. the one at a time method that barcode scanning uses. For instance it should be possible at some point for you to roll up with your grocery cart and be given a total within a few seconds, instead of the cashier having to scan each item.

I can think of others but you only asked for three.

You owe me a beer for doing your homework… :)

“Stealth” computer technology at Wal-mart?

“Stealth” computer technology at Wal-mart?

On a few occasions i have gone to my local Wal-mart to return some item i bought without having the receipt for it. It used to be that they would simply ask how long ago i bought such an item, and i would say less than three months ago, knowing that this was their cut-off point for returns or exchanges.

Now, however, i can’t “get away” with this, because apparently they now have some sort of technology that allows them to know exactly when i bought the product simply by either scanning or entering some information from the UPC label or something into their cash register/computer terminal.

My question is, how the hell do they do that? I mean, they can’t be putting different UPC codes on their products each and every day, so they know exactly when you are buying one of their products. I’m baffled……anybody have an insights about this? Thanks

Where do the candidates stand on the real id act and rfid technology?

In May all the states will have to comply with the DHS new law with drivers licenses. Some states may be putting rfid technolgy in the drivers licenses to spy on ordinary citizens. The department of Homeland security may eventually require rfid technology being put in the drivers licenses. Where do the candidates stand on this and the United States becoming a big brother society?
