Chips and plugs
The violent protest rallies of human rights defenders and the emotional discussions that are going on around technologies based on radio-identification chips (RFID) can, apparently, have a tangible effect on the specific nuances in the work and deactivation of the microcircuits. But at the same time, RFID tags offer such obvious and substantial economic benefits that their speedy introduction into various spheres of life is almost inevitable. That was once again emphasized at a recent press conference hosted by the EU administration for announcing the start of a comprehensive pan-European project to study all aspects of the massive use of RFID. Viviane Reding, EU Commissioner for the Information Society and Media, who told about this initiative, said that it is planned to release 600 million radio-identification chips this year, and this figure will increase 450 times over the next ten years.
The flow of news about a variety of applications, in which RFID is already being successfully applied, is growing every month. Reading, in her report, in particular, mentioned the European Airbus Aircraft Concern, where RFID now marks all the elements of aircraft under construction — brakes, seats, seat belts, etc. — that are subject to regular replacement so that they themselves can announce the update when they are scanned. . By the flowery expression of Reading, the large-scale use of radiolabel chips unites the Internet world of cyberspace and the real world surrounding a person into one whole.
