RFID within the Retail Environment Kristina Huber, Lisa Houck, Igor Vinogradov _________________________________________________________________ RFID in Retail: The Ethical Dilemma The ethical dilemma surrounding RFID technology in the retail space is the threat to consumer’s informational privacy. This threat is threefold: 1) How the personal consumer information collected by RFID will be used, meaning will it be used by the specific retail outlet or be sold to third parties? 2) Will the marketing
RFID Chip Implants In recent years the substantial increase in RFID technology has dramatically sparked controversial debates, and many claim that this technology oversteps several ethical and moral boundaries. RFID stands for “Radio Frequency Identification”(Foster, Jager 1). Humans have begun to be tagged with these RFID chips and many people are demonstrating a strong opposing opinion on the medical risk and the ethical concern of this new technology. Although this technology presents many negative
controls the world. Nothing can function without the presence of technology. It seems like it becomes part of people’s everyday routine. Now, the world comes to a point where technology takes control of everything. The scientists invented the chip called RFID, which stands form Radio Frequency Identification. This chip can be implanted to the human body for several uses such as ID, bank account, passkey, patient medical records, etc. It basically stores information of the person. When it comes to the Bible
Radio Frequency Identification, commonly known as RFID, is a data collection technology that utilizes electronic tags to store data. The tag has many different names such as electronic label, transponder, or code plate. The RIFD chip is attached to an antenna transmitted in kilohertz, megahertz, and gigahertz range. These RIFD tags are similar to barcodes and are used to track items (RFID, n.d.). RIFD can be used for various things, including: identifying vehicles, validate items, register and authorize
This section intends to furnish the peruser with a foundation on why this paper was started. It likewise depicts the issue proclamation, explores inquiries, reason and basis for the examination, inspiration, and the extent of the exposition. 1.1 RFID Background While new advancements go back and forth, associations still face the quandary of distinguishing, receiving and executing the "right" answers for their present and future business needs (Ward and Peppard, 2002). Especially in times when
return-on-investment of the RFID technology was better compared to the corresponding return-on-investment due to utilizing other technologies. Applications of RFID are not only limited to the industrial sectors, but it can be also utilized for domestic and social sectors. For instance, RFID can be used for tracking highly active children in the amusement park, monitoring Alzheimer and dementia patients, identifying victims of the tsunami, and for tracking lost pets. Nowadays, the use of RFID in health care becomes
implants. RFID implants use radio frequency electromagnetic fields to identify and track the locations of objects, animals, and most recently, humans. While implanting these devices in humans is a considerably large step for the development and improvement of modern technology, it has also become quite controversial. There are various pros and cons relative to the implantation of RFID devices in humans. Each standpoint can be supported with valid evidence explaining why or why not RFID implants should

In recent years, development in technology has changed the attitude of living of human beings. People are experiencing those things, which they only dreamed about decades ago and was considered as impossible in real life. Wearable technology is that technology which has changed the lifestyle of human beings. Wearable technology has been around for many years, but the trend of wearable technology begins when the prototype of Google Glass was first developed. The prototype of Google Glass has changed
3.2. What is ALPR? Automatic license plate recognition (ALPR) is a mass surveillance method that uses optical character recognition (OCR) to automatically identify the license number plate in an image or video. By providing the OCR with the correct search criteria you need to train it. To train the OCR means to get enough positive and negative images of the object you want to identify. The training involves in to an Extensible Markup Language (XML) that can be used to identify die object in the image
This is a type of games that automatically played through internet. Games are mostly common since there has been a development in technology. Much different type of computers has emerged with high technology power, which brings this to attention. It has come to be common to different people both children and adults. There are many advantages and disadvantages of egames. They create a big room for discussion and learning which enable evolution in technology. Egames helps people to learn and explore
GPS (GLOBAL POSITIONING SYSTEM) ABSTRACT: In this paper, some of the ideas of navigating and positioning has been possible by using GPS (Global Positioning System). This paper provides the use of enclosing the GPS receiver in the different areas of precise positioning, locating the maps, navigating across the mapped locations very easily. The purpose of this paper is to exhibit the actuality that incurred in designing a position and navigation system, which can be used as a dynamic compass, driving
to keep track of what they are doing. Privacy, in a sense is taken away, is now more seriously threatened when devices as small as a grain of rice like Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) chips can actually be implemented on human. As with every newborn technology which might be flooded with negative critics, RFIDs should not and will not be destined to become the mark of the beast because of the Bible, the ethics of technology and the benefit. I am not a Christian, but since literal

aviation industry. A passenger wastes around 1.7 days of his vacation or business trip waiting for the mishandled bag [1]. In the recent years, RFID has proven to be a boon for object tracing purpose and is one of the most promising areas for research. The RFID is a very effective, feasible and cost-effective technology for object identification. The fundamental RFID system consists of three components: Tag, Reader, and Backend Application. The tag consists of a microchip and antenna which is assigned a
Most poignantly, retailers are implementing the technology at the item level to reduce stock outs thus experiencing growth to their top line. RFID technology incorporates tags that emit radio signals and devices, called readers, that capture the signal. The tags can be read from several feet away and do not need to be in direct line of sight of the readers. Each tag is encoded with information
customers. By reading the RFID signals on each product, information is collected and entered on a database on a continuous basis. This information can be automatically transmitted to suppliers. Thus, allowing both Target and its suppliers to efficiently track inventories. Walmart has been using this system since the recession of 2008; which as aloud them to out preform Target which sales have dropped by over 10% and their revue has dropped even
The RFID applications included attendance recording, to access the control, tea and coffee vending machine services and an e-purse, along with biometric security features of the organisations. Reliance Industries adopted this concept across the entire group of companies. Reliance Retail has made plans for using RFID to support its operations. The company has developed five RFID-deployment
Passports Passports have been utilized to move throughout different countries for centuries. In 1918, Congress adopted the Passport Control Act to help and provide security to the United States. The Passport Control Act states that no one should leave or enter the United States without a passport or a permit from the Department of State or receiving authorization by an American consul (Szajkoski, ). The passport is said to have “derived from a medieval document required to pass through the gate
a new age of technological advancement, companies are abusing the power granted to them by access to new inventions, and in doing so are invading the privacy of their consumers. Hidden cameras, data mining, and radio frequency information devices (RFIDs) are all used to track the daily life of consumers, and marketing revolves around this data. While many will argue that people should be aware of all tracking technology, and avoid it if they don’t wish to be tracked, due to the prevalence of this
