RFID Fears
January 26, 2006
This video is a visual representation of a subset of my worst fears around RFID and digital identity. It takes a second to start, but it’s worth it.
Watching this makes my skin crawl. Don’t fool yourself into thinking this is some sort of extreme paranoid science fiction either. We’re just a few steps away from realizing this as reality. This is the scary 1984 kind of science fiction that is terribly grounded in today’s emerging technologies. I’ve been saying it for months, combining digital identity through federations with RFID and efficient indexing builds just the distopia exhibited here.
I’m glad someone has made a film that so clearly shares my fears.
