This tech is not what you should be afraid of. Have you heard of a little technology called RFID? Soon every product sold in the US will have tiny radio antennas built into the packaging that will replace the barcodes used today. Think of this scenario: As you walk into your local Walmart store, an RFID scanner bounces invisible signals off you, reporting back to the mothership details of every item on your person. "I see you're carrying Aveda lip gloss, Gucci sunglasses, and 400 dollars cash in your purse: Perhaps you would like to try these related products (a la <a href="http://Amazon.com" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank" title="Amazon.com">Amazon.com</a>'s "other people who bought this product also bought this") Scary huh?</p>Mac.HMon, 08 Aug 2005 15:01:38 -0000http://www.ohgizmo.com/2005/07/29/barcode-to-my-heart/#comment-1751854<p>This needs to stop. Talk about invasion of privacy. Hopefully this never reaches american soil.

Kinda creepy. More interestign would be a phone that can parse UPC codes and can give you information about the product you scanned; nutritional info for food, competitive prices at several local and internet retailers, and so forth. Someone has a neat book you want to read? Just snap a pic of the UPC, and when you have time, look at who is nearby or inexpensive that has the book in stock. Presto!</p>Adam WadeFri, 29 Jul 2005 20:16:24 -0000
