Radio-frequency identification (RFID) is an automatic identification method, relying on storing and remotely retrieving data using devices called RFID tags or transponders. An RFID tag can be incorporated into a product, animal, or person for the purpose of identification using radiowaves.

The bottom line is that RFID is now being used for security, safety, error prevention, anticounterfeiting, cost reduction, increasing sales, entertainment, crime prevention, customer convenience and art and there is more to come. It is rather as if we had just invented the wheel… or paper.
