IBM Chips Away at RFID

Within the next decade radio frequency identification (RFID) will become as common as barcodes on everyday items, says a researcher with IBM. With chip costs roughly halving every 18 months, RFID tags will cost only a few cents within three to five years. IBM is hoping to use more organic materials in the chips, which will also reduce costs. Source: STUFF
