OMG – what in the world did I do that for? It was one to many last night. Not only do I hurt from the workout, but also the after effects …
Dentist visit this afternoon and practice tonight. This is how far all this has come, from chaotic dentistry to pain free. X-rays are automatically captured into the file of the patient in jpg format. Too cool.

RFIDAn emerging technology could usurp the ubiquitous bar code's quarter-century of quiet domination. Radio frequency identification (RFID) tags, which consist of silicon chips and an antenna that can transmit data to a wireless receiver, could one day be used to track everything from soda cans to cereal boxes. Unlike bar codes, which need to be scanned manually and read individually (you have to actually see a bar code in order to read it), radio ID tags do not require line-of-sight for reading. Within the field of a wireless reading device, it is possible to automatically read hundreds of tags a second. Not only can these tags be read faster than bar codes, they also contain more information, so they can recall items more efficiently. "This is the basis of the next 50 years of computing," said Kevin Ashton, executive director of MIT's Auto-ID Center. "The impact will be staggering." The applications for this technology are seemingly endless. Radio ID tags can be installed in clothing labels, books, packaging, or even implanted beneath skin.

One day there will be no need of touching the product more than twice, one to put it in the card, two to take it out at home. Everything else will be electronically registered in terms of check out and payment. Hopefully somebody will carry it through to the home and connect the bought items to another program for menus, diets, workout, etc… |
