“RSA did have something really innovative out on the show floor—a mock pharmacy from which you could order happiness, wisdom and intelligence pills. The pills, of course, were all from the same jar of jellybeans; no drugs were provided. But the idea was to give you experience with the new Radio-Frequency Identification (RFID) tags. An RFID tag– a tiny microchip capable of transmitting a unique serial number– could soon permeate life’s little experiences. When you obtain your prescription drugs, for example, the label on the bottle will contain the tag. This makes it easy for your pharmacy to provide refills.”
