How Does RFID Rank as a Technical Innovation?

RFID is not extremely advanced technology. It seems miraculous sometimes when you see a piece of equipment's location in real time within a large facility, or when you perform an inventory count of 1,000 items within a minute. An RFID chip is relatively simple compared to the high-end chips that go into workstations or PCs. In terms of impact, RFID technology has had very little so far. That's because the technology is very new and has not yet been widely deployed.
