X Radio-frequency identification (RFID) is the wireless non-contact use

X The main purpose of using RFID is to automatically identify and track
the active and passive tags attached to various objects in our daily life.
X RFID tags are an improvement over bar codes because the tags have
read and write capabilities. Data stored on RFID tags can be
changed, updated and locked.
