RFID, presence and privacy
Where should location tracking start and stop?
I think location tracking in general and perhaps RFID in particular have the potential to become the most revolutionary set of technologies since the cell phone itself, bringing us truly into the Star Trek age. We are now wise to the foibles that can arise with any communication and information technology, so it makes sense to anticipate the potential abuses up front so we can minimise the downsides.
It's not going to be easy, though. Much of that work boils down to ethics, a topic that is very difficult for society to agree upon.
