To RFID or not to RFID

To RFID or not to RFID So I just happened to come across two articles this week related to MIT, both involving RFID technology (for those who arent that tech savvy (like me), heres the wikipedia article on RFID). One of which is from the San Jose Mercury News Printed Chips Could be Boon for Consumers where they talk about some new technology thats being developed by a company called Kovio, which apparently was founded by MIT alum Colin Bulthaup in 2001, the year he graduated from MIT with a Bachelors and Masters of Engineering in EECS. (Actually, it looks like since then, Colins done way more than that) Pretty amazing stuff. Meanwhile, one of my college friends sent me this article from Technology Review about the 2009 Young (under 35) Innovator of the Year. Its my former GRT! ZOMG! (For those that dont know, GRT stands for Graduate Resident Tutor; theyre basically grad students at MIT who serve as your floor or halls resident advisor.) Hes actually doing some pretty cool work on the security of RFID. You should read the article, because it does a much better job of explaining what he does than I can. Anyways, enjoy. Hope yall are enjoying (at least whats left ofor maybe whats not left of by this point) the summer!
