Radio Frequency Identification
Executive Summary
This paper attempts to discuss the benefits of using Radio Frequency Identification Tag and the potential challenges it faced. It will examine what is used before Radio Frequency Identification Tag is invented and the disadvantages that are caused by the previous technology. It will also look at what are some of the uses of Radio Frequency Identification Tag and it advantages of using it. It will then discuss on how Radio Frequency Identification Tag will shape the future. In addition, the paper will also address the issues and challenges faced by using Radio Frequency Identification Tag.

Hello Huiying
ReplyDeleteInteresting topic you got here about RFID and all its uses! It has definitely become a revolutionary innovation since the beginning when no such technology was present. Now, I'm sure all of us agree that it has been a tremendous aid for many industries. I think you've covered the past and present situation of this technology well. For future RFID concerns, probably you could talk about improved features and enhanced benefits of RFID (increased coverage in other industries). I know that RFID is increasingly used in the aviation industry for luggage bags for example. Also it is good that you're looking into some of the challenges and constraints faced by such innovation.
Looking forward to see your paper's progress. Good job!

Hello,
ReplyDeleteVery nice topic on RFID here. Clear and easy to follow outline. Seems pretty neat and good to me. Probably you can add in what is the future after RFID. In the past, it was barcode then progress on to RFID. How about what's next after RFID? All the best in ur research essay. Good job so far with your outline.
Cheers,
Charles Lee
Hi!
ReplyDeleteNo wonder you were so clear on the uses of RFID during the group discussion! A very interesting paper that explores something we uses daily without much consideration of how it work or how to extend its uses. Perhaps you can include possible uses for RFID technology in sectors that have yet to adopt it.
