A Brief Introduction to RFID
Radiofrequencyidentication(RFID)isagenerictermfortechnologies
that use radio waves to automatically identify people or objects. There are 
severalmethodsofidentication,themostcommonbeingastoredserial

from the RFID tag into digital information that can then be passed onto 
computers, which can then process that information.
