RFID (Radio Frequency Identification)

By keeping a disorganized warehouse, home, or office, it would make RFID technology more efficiently. The area that you wish to equip with this technology would be networked by a computer. The computer would keep tabs on the locations of every item forming basically a network. According to Kevin Ashton, a totally unorganized area would make the probability of any given item closer to the user. This system equipped with a robot, could make locating and retrieving items in the area faster and more reliable. Nothing would be lost. The ideas surrounding this are so different, they may even change the norms of our society. The author states that with unorganized home spaces, children may spite their parents be cleaning their rooms rather than messing them up. Thinking needs to change in our culture to adopt some of these stranger ideas, but after its all completed I think the outcome will be positive.
