Radio Frequency IDs (RFIDs)

Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) was the early and pivotal enabler of this
technology, with a tiny tag responding in the presence of a receiver which emits a signal.

Originally used during World War II in

British Spitfire airplanes to distinguish
friend from foe

RFIDs in retail stores

TEDxBNMIT

Retailers keep track of the goods going out of warehouses to

their stores with this technology.
In a typical scenario one can imagine a retail store in which
all items are RFID tagged. A shopping cart fitted with a
receiver can automatically track all items placed in the cart
for immediate payment and check-out.
