Capitalists control purchases by the little man using RFID. |
CHICAGO, Feb. 3 (UPI) -- A customer at a retail store picks a bottle of shampoo off the shelf, heads to the cashier, and pays for the product. The radio frequency identification (RFID) tag on the item sends a notice to the store's network -- alerting it that inventory has been reduced. The network automatically communicates with computers at the shipping center of the shampoo maker, which triggers a shipping notice that more shampoo is on the way to replenish the dwindling stocks of Head and Shoulders.
This vision of the retail store of the future may start to come into existence in the coming year, experts tell United Press International's Wireless World. By Gene Koprowski |
