One of the most visible examples of ubiquitous computing poised for implementation can be found in the retail industry. Radio frequency identification (RFID) tags are being billed as the replacement for barcoding, the all-pervasive technology which has underpinned supply chains for the past 35 years. The standards allow for up to thirty trillion, trillion, trillion unique addresses, and the ultimate goal is to create an ‘Internet of things’ in which everyday physical items are networked together. Concerted research effort over the past five years has developed the technology and reduced cost to a point where deployment is now possible. However, the recent heated debate centred on spy chips has highlighted the fact that one person's ‘ubiquitous computing’ is another person's ‘Big Brother state’.
