RFID in Education: Revolutionary or Evolutionary?
<http://www.sun.com/emrkt/educonnection/newsletter/0505eduinsight.html>

Overview of RFID Technology: "The Internet of Things"

A technology revolution has been taking place over the last several years
yet few people are aware of it. As much as the Internet was a disruptive
technology in the 1990s, the "Internet of Things" promises to be equally as
disruptive, not only technologically, but socially as well.

There are signs of the revolution everywhere. From embedded highway sensors
that give real time traffic updates to web pages and cell phones to web and
surveillance cameras, which provide real-time views of wide tracks of
populated areas, there is an explosion of devices at the edge of the
Internet. With the release of the Electronic Product Code Network
(EPCglobal), a widely-accepted open technology infrastructure and set of
standards developed by a global consortium of researchers and companies,
including Sun Microsystems, the "Internet of Things" paradigm will finally
start to permeate the global consciousness, just as its predecessor, the
Universal Product Code (UPC), better known as the bar code, did beginning in
the 1950s.
