So there an article over at Wired about an author who has written a book about how RFID (Radio Frequency Identification — which will ultimately replace barcodes as a means of identifying product) is a sign of the end of all things. Hmmm… a little bit of a stretch if you ask me… but hey, if she’s right i will graciously accept her “i told you so”. 
Katherine Albrecht is on a mission from God.
The influential consumer advocate has written a new book warning her fellow Christians that radio frequency identification may evolve to become the “mark of the beast” — meaning the technology is a sign that the end-times are drawing near.
Read the whole thing over at Wired.
In a side note, I am not completely “for” RFID tags. I believe there are some serious privacy concerns that need to be worked out before any major implimentation takes place. If you do a google search for “stop rfid” you will find links aplenty explaining (in copious detail) why some believe RFID tags are bad.
