One immediate use for the Red/Black car tags could be to give a younger driver (son/daughter) the ability to use a vehicle that might otherwise be deemed a tad too powerful.

Just came across this video from a belgian tv show called "De Schuur van Scheire" (or "Scheire's barn"), which fits nicely with this topic.

A belgian guy has had 2 RFID chips implanted in his hands to open door, mailbox, car, etc ... eliminating almost any key required.

Video is in dutch, but just watching it should give you an idea of what's going on.

Good stuff Mark!

I was always wondering about the NFC ring. Wouldn't it be rather easy for someone to subtly swipe (both sides) of the ring in a crowded subway for example, copying your information without you noticing ? The "advantage" of a physical wallet is that you would notice if it's gone, allowing you to potentially have your cards blocked before they are used. With NFC, your information might have been copied and you won't notice until it is too late.

By the way, the link to your previous post sends me to an "unauthorized" page:

Nice post Mark.

I agree with you about the issue of do we really need this much technology in our lives.

I can see both sides of the issue both pro and con, but I still fear others using the data for uses not necessarily to my benefit.

It is bad enough that Google sends specific adds to me based on the information it has gleaned from my internet usage.

It is a short step to having them predict what I might do next.

If that does not scare you, then you are way too comfortable with the idea of intrusion into your life.
