Zapped! 2004-06
Zapped! took a close look at—and a new approach to—the mass deployment of
Radio Frequency Identification (RFID). RFID was not yet a household name or a pervasive technology, but Preemptive Media predicted that everyday encounters
with this technology (whether known or not) would soon be commonplace. Zapped! was an effort to learn about and respond to the tags that industry is embracing
for product tracking, the government for border control, schools for attendance-taking and public libraries for automatic checkout.
