The Ubiquitous Chip

A spy chip in your wheelie bin! You read it here first!! (Issue 85 Spring 2006. Ed) And where next for the ubiquitous chip? Built-in on your car to tell the law-enforcement authority where it is - and where it has been? Tailored-in on school uniforms for parents and teachers to keep track of the wearer? Integral to every item on the supermarket shelves to prevent theft and to enable the one-minute checkout of a fully-loaded trolley? Bound-in on every book to ensure an accurate bestseller list and to find a title in shop or library within seconds? Many more - very many more - are within the scope of the Radio Frequency Identification (RFD) technology. All will record more information to add to your identity profile set in the giant database in the Westminster sky.
