Learn RFID with Fun with RFIDabc

Filed in archive RFID Basics on October 31, 2006

Now learn about RFID in an entertaining manner with a website called RFIDabc. The website has been launched by Informationsforum, an association into educating German consumers about RFID. The matter has been presented in such a simplified manner so that even a layman can understand it, therefore the site has been named RFIDabc. A number of categories have been taken as examples in order to educate the people as to how RFID was affecting their lives.

The website comes soon after the preliminary results released by the EU which informed that the people did not have a basic understanding of RFID and that they were needed to be fed with more information in this regard.

Viviane Reding, Commissioner, EU's Information Society stated:

We need to make considerably greater efforts to explain the risks and benefits of RFID to the wider public. It is no longer just a playground for technologists and lawyers.

Consumers would now be able to learn about RFID in an enjoyable manner as the information provided has been supported by photographs and short texts. In order to make your visit more enjoyable a memory game has been added to the site in which cards are flipped over electronically so that the player can match RFID related images.

Certainly more sites like these are required in order to educate the consumers about the technology and present a true and clear picture about it. Already there is a lot of air of confusion surrounding RFID and if this site can present an unbiased picture there would be nothing like that. With RFID pervading our lives and making an impact on it, certainly more sites like this would be needed to educate the consumer around the world.
