Family friendly and cube-safe. For those unaware, RFID (radio frequency ID) is a technology for implanting a chip that will broadcast an ID number to anything near it. Stores are looking at using it to track inventory from things as large as plasma TVs down to a bar of soap...

I am still waiting for the day when an employer comes to me extolling the virtues of the new "bio chip" that I can administer systems with with just a thought
 My Blackberry is scary enough for now though!

I can see my old workplace requiring this of employees. They went to biometrics 'round about the time I quit (unrelated). Sorry but anything that could potentially be used to track me like a GPS system is going into this body only after it's cold and dead. Oh, read the article and the current applications were "waving your hand and the door magically opens" or "no more forgetting passwords" but potential for abuse is just too high. Glad I was before cybertechnology (and this is what it is) started going from fiction to fact.

Spooky, and well within the realm of possibility. Think I'll pass though, sometimes I don't want to be found.

Your title is incorrect.
That should be: How to sell to the common teen.
