>What is RFID technology?

Radio Frequency Identification.

RFID is a technology where a small microchip is embedded in an object
and can be read by a nearby scanner. Sort of like a bar code, except
the information is digitally encoded.

There's a good starter FAQ online as part of the RFID Journal at
<http://www.rfidjournal.com/article/articleview/207>

Typically, RFID is used to track objects in an environment, such as a
supplier knowing where boxes might be in a warehouse, an art museum
keeping track of pieces in the collection, or an exhibit changing a
visitors experience based upon what they've done.
